preheat your oven to 425°f.

pierce the potatoes with a fork in several places and bake them for 45-60 minutes until they are tender.

let the potatoes cool down a bit, then peel them and mash them well in a large bowl.

add the flour and salt to the bowl and mix well until the dough forms.

knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until it is smooth.

divide the dough into 4 portions, and roll each portion into a long rope shape.

cut each rope into small pieces (around 1 inch each), and press each piece with a fork to make ridges.

fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil.

add the gnocchi to the boiling water, and cook until they float to the surface of the water.

use a slotted spoon or strainer to remove the cooked gnocchi from the pot.
