Notes
- Bake potatoes directly on the center rack of the oven, and do not wrap in foil so more water can evaporate. The less moisture, the less flour you will need to avoid a sticky dough.
- Rice the potatoes while still hot, but let them cool before mixing to let moisture evaporate and prevent the eggs from cooking. Ricing cold potatoes will result in lumpy gnocchi.
- Use minimal flour and don't overwork the dough to avoid tough gnocchi.
- Keep the cut gnocchi well floured while you're working to prevent them from sticking together.
- Test cook one piece before shaping the entire batch to make sure they hold together.
