2 pounds whole baking potatoes
2 cups brown rice flour
1/2 cup tapioca flour
2 teaspoons xanthan gum
2 large eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon salt
Making the Gnocchi:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Using a fork, pierce the potatoes in several locations to allow moisture to vent. Place on a baking sheet and bake the potatoes for 1 hour.
3. Cut open the potatoes and allow them to cool for about 20 minutes. Scoop the potatoes out of the skins and put through a potato ricer. If you don't have a ricer, use a wooden spoon to push the potatoes through a mesh strainer or mash the potatoes by hand using a fork.
4. Add the brown rice flour, tapioca flour, xanthan gum, eggs, and salt to the potatoes and mix together to form a ball of dough.
5. Dust a cutting board with brown rice flour. Break off a small piece of dough and roll with your hands into a 1 inch diameter tube. Repeat.
6. Cut the tubes of dough into 1 inch long pieces. Repeat until all the dough is cut.
7. Place the cut gnocchi onto a brown rice flour dusted baking sheet. Freeze the gnocchi on the tray for about 1 hour. After the gnocchi is frozen, you can store it in a re-sealable plastic back or cook it.
Cooking the gnocchi:
1. Bring 5 quarts of salted water to a boild in a large pot. Gently add frozen gnocchi to the water. Cook until the gnocchi rise to the surface of the water, about 5 minutes. Drain the gnocchi before serving.
Serve with your favorite pasta sauce.
