When the liquid has evaporated and the spinach darkens, transfer it to a sieve and squeeze out the excess liquid. Finely chop the stewed spinach with a knife.
Boil the potatoes in their skins while they are still warm, peel and grate on a coarse grater. And then let it cool.
In a bowl, combine potatoes and spinach. Add flour, salt and stir.
Place the dough on a floured board and knead. If the dough is too sticky, add a small amount of flour, but not too much. The dough should not be tight, otherwise the gnocchetti will turn out hard.
