These gnocchi were amazing! I served them with a simple tomato sauce and they were absolutely delicious. I will definitely be making these again.

I've tried making gnocchi a few times before, but they always turned out too dense or too sticky. This recipe was the perfect balance of light and fluffy. I will definitely be using this recipe again.

These gnocchi were amazing! I've never had homemade gnocchi before, but they were so much better than the store-bought kind. They were light and fluffy, and the potato flavor really shone through. I will definitely be making these again.

I've made gnocchi a few times before, but this recipe was by far the easiest and most successful. The gnocchi were light and fluffy, and they cooked evenly without falling apart. I will definitely be using this recipe again.
