4 servings
For the gnocchi
- 2 lb russet potatoes (about 3 large)
- 1 cup rice flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 large egg
- ¾ tsp fine salt
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
Ingredient noteBlack pepper can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/16 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¼ tsp freshly grated nutmeg (optional)
Can be omittednutmeg
For boiling
- 1 tbsp salt (for the boiling water)
For finishing
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp garlic-infused oil
For serving
- ¼ cup scallion tops, thinly sliced (optional)
Can be omittedscallion tops
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese, finely grated (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Pierce each potato several times with a fork, place directly on the oven rack, and bake for 50–60 minutes, until a skewer slides through the center with no resistance. (Baking rather than boiling keeps the potatoes dry, which is essential for light gnocchi.)

While the potatoes are still hot, halve them and scoop the flesh into a potato ricer or press through the large holes of a box grater onto a clean, lightly rice-flour-dusted work surface. Spread the riced potato out and let it steam for 3–4 minutes until no visible steam rises — the drier the potato, the less flour you'll need.
