   • In a mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks, then combine them with the mashed potatoes, ensuring thorough mixing.
   • Add dashes of nutmeg, salt, pepper, and approximately 1/2 cup of flour to the potato mixture. Blend well.
   • Begin kneading the mixture, gradually adding the remaining flour. Keep some flour aside to adjust the consistency later. Knead until the dough achieves a slightly sticky texture; if it’s too sticky, incorporate the reserved flour.

2. Shape the Gnocchi:

   • Lightly dust your work surface with flour to prevent sticking.
   • Form the dough into sausage-like rolls, roughly 3/4 inch thick. Cut the rolls into 1-inch pieces.
   • Use a fork to flatten each gnocchi, creating imprints with the tines. Ensure the fork remains clean to prevent sticking.

3. Cook the Gnocchi:

   • Meanwhile, bring a 3-quart pot of water to a boil.
   • Drop approximately 18 gnocchi into the boiling water at a time. They will sink to the bottom initially but will float to the top once cooked. This process typically takes a few minutes.
   • Once the gnocchi float to the surface, remove them using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate. Drizzle with a little olive oil to prevent sticking, and keep them warm while cooking the remaining batches.

4. Serve:

   • When ready to serve, sprinkle the cooked gnocchi with grated parmesan cheese for added flavor.

Tips:

• To freeze the gnocchi, place them on a cookie sheet in a single layer and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag for long-term storage. This method prevents them from clumping together.
• Experiment with different flavors by incorporating ingredients like spinach into the dough for added nutritional value and taste variation.
• For a crispy texture, consider pan-frying the cooked gnocchi with bacon and mushrooms, elevating their flavor profile even further.
