For gnocchi Steam or boil potatoes until tender. Drain, let cool a little and peel. Mash with a ricer or masher then stir in milk, egg yolks, salt to taste and enough of the sifted flour to form a firm dough. Roll a quarter of the dough into a 2cm-thick sausage on a floured surface. Cut into 4cm lengths and shape each into an oval. Press and roll the dough with a floured fork to mark one side of the gnocchi. Place on a lightly floured tray in a single layer. Repeat with the remaining dough. Cover and refrigerate for one hour. Cook, in batches, in a large pan of gently boiling salted water until they float to the surface, about 3 minutes. Remove the cooked gnocchi from the water with a slotted spoon and drain well.
