4 servings
For the gnocchi
- 2 lbs russet potatoes (about 4 medium)
- 1 large egg
Ingredient noteEggs are safe during pregnancy as long as they are cooked all the way through.
- 1 tsp fine salt
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- ⅛ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
- ¾ cup rice flour, plus more for dusting
- 2 tbsp tapioca starch
For pan-searing
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- salt and pepper, to taste
For serving
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)
- freshly grated parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Place the whole, unpeeled potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by 2 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer and cook until a skewer or knife slides through the center with no resistance, about 25–30 minutes. Drain and let cool just enough to handle.

Peel the potatoes while still warm, then pass them through a potato ricer or grate them on the large holes of a box grater onto a clean, lightly rice-flour-dusted work surface. Spread them out and let the steam escape for 3–4 minutes — the drier the potato, the lighter the gnocchi.
