Peel the potatoes, cut them into smaller pieces, and boil them in salted water for about 20 minutes, or until tender.
Drain the cooked potatoes, mash them in a bowl, and let them cool completely.
To the cooled potatoes, add the flour, egg yolk, and a pinch of salt. Knead until you have a soft, homogeneous dough.
Divide the dough into four parts. Roll each part into a rope about 2 cm thick, then cut into small pieces. Gently press each piece with a fork to create the characteristic gnocchi pattern.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the gnocchi in smaller batches. Once they float to the surface (about 2 minutes), drain them and set aside.
Peel and mince the garlic. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until the gnocchi are lightly browned and crispy.
Before serving, sprinkle with fresh parsley and freshly ground black pepper.
