Tips:
- To make the perfect gnocchi dough, start by using high-quality ingredients. Fresh russet potatoes are best for gnocchi, as they have a high starch content that helps to bind the dough together.
- When boiling the potatoes, do not overcook them. Overcooked potatoes will make the gnocchi dough too soft and sticky.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, rice them immediately. This will help to prevent them from becoming gluey.
- When mixing the gnocchi dough, be gentle. Overworking the dough will make the gnocchi tough.
- When shaping the gnocchi, use a light touch. Do not press the dough too hard, or the gnocchi will be dense.
- Cook the gnocchi in batches. Do not overcrowd the pot, or the gnocchi will stick together.
- Once the gnocchi are cooked, remove them from the pot with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a bowl of cold water. This will stop the cooking process and prevent the gnocchi from becoming mushy.
- Serve the gnocchi immediately with your favorite sauce.
