Note

The type of potato is very important for gnocchi. Choose potatoes with a high starch content. Also, it is important not to add too much flour to keep the gnocchi light and flufy.

Gnocchi can be easily frozen. Carefully place them on a baking sheet so that they do not touch and freeze. When they freeze you can put them in a bag. Cook without defrosting in plenty of boiling water, not too much at once so that the water does not cool down.
