Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Pierce the potatoes all over with a fork and place them directly on the oven rack. Bake for 50–60 minutes, until a skewer slides through the center with no resistance.

While the potatoes are still hot, halve them and scoop the flesh through a potato ricer or grate it on the large holes of a box grater onto a clean, lightly rice-flour-dusted baking sheet. Spread the riced potato out and let it steam-dry for 5 minutes — the drier the potato, the less flour you'll need.
