The rating is based on my errors not the recipe as this was a disaster for me. I used 5 baking potatoes instead of 6. I didn't have a ricer so I grated the potatoes. I don't think that the 1 cup of flour is sufficient or maybe after reading others reviews I over cooked the potatoes (I only cooked them for 15 minutes) but even after 2 cups of flour the mixture seemed too sticky and soft. They cooked up ok but just seemed too fluffy and after having Gnocchi in Italy it just didn't do it for me. I was looking for a more dense gnocchi. I will have to try again in the future with a ricer and see what happens. Thanks for the experience and a base recipe to play with.

I think I was so worried about overcooking the potatoes that I undercooked them, but they still turned out pretty good. Will try again. Also added some Italian spices to spruce it up.

It worked pretty well for me, for a first shot! I didn't pay much attention to the written ingredient amounts and just added flour until it seemed right. I also baked the potatoes first, mashed them, then chilled them for about 10 min before making. I plan to experiment with other types of potatoes, and adding other ingredients for flavor.

I am reviewing the final product, as it was my boyfriend who did all the cooking on this one. These were WAY better than packaged. Not as chewy, and I didn't taste too much flour, either. Very yummy with a pesto sauce on it. Oooh I wish we had leftovers!

Mine turned out fine, but if I had followed the 3-5 minute boiling time, they wouldn't have. Mine floated to the surface after a minute, at most. Also, you have to sort of eyeball the ratio of potato to flour. Not all potatoes are the same size.

Never made or eaten Gnocchi before and I always wanted to try it. It was light and fluffy and easy to make. It took some time to roll and mark with a fork but the end result was really nice. It was a lot of fun to watch it POP up to the top of the boiling water when it was done. I served it with some melted butter, a little olive oil and I added a couple of tablespoons of pesto and sundried tomato paste. YUMMY
