In a large bowl, we will add the mashed potatoes and we will add the egg yolks. We will stir well until they are integrated and we will incorporate the flour little by little until we get a kind of consistent dough.

After we will put this dough in a pastry bag and, on a pot with boiling water, we are pressing a little and cutting the dough to make small portions where these will be the gnocchi. When these begin to float, we will let them cook for 2 minutes and we will remove them to drain.
