Potato gnocchi: soft dough rather than ordinary pasta

Useful to know

This potato gnocchi recipe combines cooked potatoes with flour, yolks and cheese. Mixing continues only until the ingredients come together. [1]

Adding flour indefinitely until the mixture resembles another dough changes its proportions. Check the intended consistency and potato preparation. Piece size and the full boiling directions are more useful than assuming every kind of pasta behaves alike.
