What if they were warmed first? And if I've never made nor eaten
gnocchi, how do I "just start the work and guide it to a successful
goal" if I do not know what the goal is? What is an approximate ratio
of potato to flour? Does it involve an egg? Salt? Milk? Water? How
do I know if texture and consistency are correct? Enlighten me, Vilco
and Pandora. Prego.
