Cook time: about 5 min.
The choice of potatoes is very important, we suggest the yellow wheat
ones, very suitable for their consistence and taste.
So
let's prepare the Gnocchi!

with care the best potatoes, wash them and after boil, peel them with
care, then pass the potatoes still hot inside the passing-machine, and

olive-oil, water and salt,
mix with care the paste with the hands stirring energetically, trying to
break off the lumps that can create itself during the paste, add slowly
an oil wire up to forming a soft paste. If the paste became too dry add
a little of water.

a diameter for 2 to 3 cm, stretch them along the weath workbench.
