  • Preheat the oven at 210 ºC

    Step 0
  • Wrap 2 kg of starchy potatoes in aluminum foil

    Step 1
  • Bake the potatoes for about 45m, until fork-tender

    Step 2

  • Make a well in the middle of the potatoes and place the egg yolks

    Step 6
  • Sift 300 g of all-purpose flour over the potatoes

    Step 7
  • Add 1 tsp of salt and ½ tsp of black pepper powder. Mix until uniform

    Step 8
  • Transfer to a clean surface and knead the dough until it is homogeneous and doesn't stick to your hands. If needed, add more flour, 1 tbsp at a time, to obtain this consistency, being careful to not make the dough too heavy

    Step 9
  • Divide the dough into small portions and make 1 inch thick rolls. Cut each roll into 1 inch long pieces

    Step 10

    Step 13

    Step 14
  • Add 1 sprig of thyme and 1 sprig of rosemary

    Step 15
  • Add small batches of the gnocchi at a time. Shake the pan to avoid sticking and flip when golden brown

    Step 16
  • Remove the herbs from the pan and discard them

    Step 17

    Step 18
