Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Prick each potato several times with a fork and place directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. (5 minutes)

02

Step
1 hrs

Bake potatoes until very tender when pierced with a knife, about 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool until easily handled, about 10 minutes.

03

Step
10 mins

Peel potatoes while still warm. Pass them through a potato ricer or food mill into a large bowl to avoid overworking them. (10 minutes)

04

Step
2 mins

Create a well in the center of the riced potatoes and pour in the lightly beaten egg. Mix gently to combine. (2 minutes)

05

Step
1 mins

In a separate bowl, whisk together the potato starch, sweet rice flour, and salt. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the potato mixture. (1 minute)

06

Step
3 mins

Gently stir until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the gnocchi tough. Cut the dough into 4 equal portions. (3 minutes)

07

Step
5 mins

Lightly dust a clean work surface with rice flour. Roll one portion of dough into a rope about 3/4 inch to 1 inch in diameter. (5 minutes)

08

Step
5 mins

Using a sharp knife or dough scraper, cut the rope into 1-inch pieces to form the gnocchi. (5 minutes)

09

Step
15 mins

For the classic gnocchi ridges, gently roll each piece over the back of a fork or a gnocchi board. This helps the sauce cling to the gnocchi. Repeat with remaining dough portions. (15 minutes)

10

Step
5 mins

Shake off any excess rice flour from the gnocchi and let them rest for about 5 minutes before cooking. This helps them hold their shape. (5 minutes)

11

Step
2 mins

Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil. Add the gnocchi in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. (2 minutes)

12

Step
2 mins

Cook the gnocchi until they float to the surface, about 1 to 2 minutes. Once they float, cook for an additional 30 seconds to ensure they are cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a serving dish. (2 minutes per batch)

For the best results, use baked potatoes that have been stored in the refrigerator overnight. This will help to further reduce their moisture content.
If the dough is too sticky, add a little more rice flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a workable consistency. However, avoid adding too much flour, as this will make the gnocchi tough.
Gnocchi can be made ahead of time and frozen. Spread the uncooked gnocchi in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze until solid. Then, transfer to a freezer bag or container. Cook directly from frozen, adding a minute or two to the cooking time.
Serve with your favorite sauce, such as pesto, marinara, brown butter and sage, or a creamy cheese sauce.
Consider roasting the potatoes with herbs like rosemary or thyme for extra flavor in the gnocchi.
Ensure the water is at a rolling boil before adding the gnocchi, this helps prevent them from sticking together.

    The tip about using cold baked potatoes is a game-changer! My gnocchi turned out so much better than previous attempts.

    I'm not gluten-free, but I actually prefer these gnocchi to regular ones! They're so light and fluffy.

  • Sandrine Luettgen

    I've tried other gluten-free gnocchi recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The texture is perfect, and they don't fall apart when cooking.

  • Janet Bergnaum

    These gnocchi were surprisingly easy to make and tasted amazing! My family loved them, and they were gone in minutes.

  • Mia Greenfelder

    Freezing the gnocchi before cooking is a lifesaver for busy weeknights.

  • Gilbert Towne

    I added a pinch of nutmeg to the dough for a little extra warmth and it was delicious!
