Choose firm flesh potatoes, e.g. yellow flesh potatoes for gnocchi making. For better results, leave the potatoes at room temperature for a few days to further firm up the flesh before cooking.
To cook gnocchi, just like cooking pasta, requires a big pot of salted boiling water. Once the gnocchi started to float to the top, they are cooked and can be removed. This will usually takes 3-4 minutes.
