To make gnocchi you must peel potatoes when they are hot! Then you have to
mush them when they are hot, because they have also a little water inside.
I don't know if the potatoes that you have are with or without skin.
BTW try to recool them in microwave with some water (I have never did it),
then mush; let them cool then put 1 egg and all the flour (1-2 cups) that
you need to make a dough similar (but more tender) to the pizza dough.
Cut in little pieces and then put in the boiling water:they are ready when
they come to the surface. Season.
I don't know! Try and let me know
Cheers
