This gluten-free gnocchi tastes like potatoes with a bouncy texture, even without gluten. This recipe uses a trick from the past when Italian cooks would toss potatoes into a fire or oven that was being cooled down so as not to waste the heat. Surplus baked potatoes became gnocchi because they have very little moisture (the secret to firm gnocchi) and they have a roasted potato flavor which is delicious!
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds potatoes
- 1 egg at room temperature , lightly beaten
- 0.33 cups potato starch
- 1 tablespoon sweet rice flour
- 0.5 teaspoons fine salt
- 2 tablespoons rice flour , or as needed

Dust the work surface with rice flour to keep dough from sticking. Roll out 1 piece of dough into a rope about 1 inch in diameter. Cut into 1-inch gnocchi. Gently roll each one with the back of a fork to create ridges. Repeat with remaining dough.
