In a bowl, mash the potatoes until smooth. Add the Parmesan cheese and the egg, and mix until well combined. Incorporate the flour gradually and mix until integrated, obtaining a well-combined dough. Let it rest for 15 minutes. Divide the dough, roll it into a strip, and cut it into small portions. Use a fork to give the gnocchi its traditional shape. Cook the gnocchi in a pot of boiling water with salt. Once they start to float, you'll know they are ready. Drizzle with tomato sauce and garnish with Parmesan cheese.
