Potatoes and flour they are the only ingredients that are needed and that are almost never missing in the pantry. For a kilo of potatoes consider about 250 grams of flour. Potatoes can be cooked in a pot, steamed or in the oven; they must then be crushed and mixed with the flour (and with an egg if you want). Cylinders must then be made from the dough and from here the pieces that will form the gnocchi. If you want to scratch them, use a rigagnocchi or the tines of a fork.
