I'm hooked on Sicilian sea salt for everyday use. I use the sale marino grosso (coarse) and grind in it my salt mill to the texture I need. Currently I'm using SoSalt from the sea near Trapani and Marsala. I also have some sea salt I got from the salt pans at Mohta in this same area. It's really special and I only use it as a finishing salt.
Sorry the gnocchi didn't turn out well. When they disintegrate it usually means that the dough needed more flour. But sometimes there is not enough egg. The egg binds the gnocchi. You can always test the dough. When you think it's right, make just a couple and cook them. If they aren't right you can then adjust the recipe without losing all the dough.
I just finished making the dough the other night - and it turned into a complete disaster; it basically turned into soggy potatoes while I was cooking them. I definitely need to add flour.
The dough can't be too wet. Don't over-cook the potatoes. Remove them when just knife tender, jackets intact so the potatoes don't absorb water. Rice the potatoes while hot. Spread them out for 20 minutes (the longer the better) to dry out. Dust the gnocchi with flour as you make the gnocchi so they don't stick together. Cook in a big pot of boiling water and stir them gently when you put them in. Take them out when they float to the top and dress them with sauce quickly. Serve immediately.
In my country, Australia they have a series called Masterchef in which they once made gnocchi. The sauce was a bland butter with sage and other forgettables where they had the tenacity to call it "beautiful". Yet these sauces have elegant simplicity while achieving great taste. The world these days...
Fabuloso !

Love it. Your explanations and presence is like my Italian grandfather's -- if I was Italian and had a grandfather.
I might end up doing this next time I have an abundance of potatoes.
