Step 1
Boil the 2 large potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Drain, let cool slightly, then peel and mash until smooth.
Step 2
On a floured surface, combine the mashed potatoes with 1.5 cups flour, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon salt. Knead gently into a soft dough, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Divide the dough into 4 parts. Roll each into a 1-inch thick rope, then cut into 1-inch pieces. Press each piece with a fork to create ridges.
Step 4
Drop the gnocchi into boiling salted water in batches. Cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon.
Step 5
Serve immediately with your favorite sauce, or toss with olive oil and herbs. Enjoy!
