Cloudy-light gnocchi, the favorite Italian dumpling, starts with perfectly cooked potatoes. The potato flesh is puffy and dry – which is what makes the dumplings so tender.
One reviewer said, “Simple, classic goodness.” “Made as per directions, with no changes. If the dough seems too sticky, just sprinkle in a little more flour (don’t add too much flour as they will become too heavy and that’s no good). If you’ve never made these before, definitely give them a try…they’re so easy and delicious.”

There are far more potatoes and onions than eggs, so it’s more of a side dish than the main player in the delicious flavor.
“Very nice recipe,” shared an Allrecipes member. “To make it easier, I boiled the potatoes the day before and followed the recipe exactly as written. My husband is from Spain and he loves this recipe but the traditional way uses more oil and takes longer, so thanks, I will make it more often now.”
