themirthmobile: the one minute is par-boiling. After the ice bath, I cooked them a second time (just until they float) and then topped with sauce. I think the par-boiling and shocking in ice water probably helps to set it up. Good luck!

foodette: thanks- I was surprised at how easy these were. Sure, they took a bit of time but it was quite a simple process. It's funny- I've had my food mill forever but never really used it, but it's perfect for milling potatoes for gnocchi!

You know, if you leave the skins in, potatoes are actually the perfect food when it comes to essential vitamins and nutrients. I wonder if it’s possible to make skin-in gnocchi.

Wow, those look amazing – While it’s a lot of work, it doesn’t seem too complicated. My husband and I both love gnocci, but I have never been brave enough to try making it. I guess I’ll ask him for a potato ricer/food mill for the holidays this year, and then get to work!

Thanks for the inspiration

your gnocchi are very cute! was the one minute in boiling water enough to cook them, or was that a par-boil before freezing? the last time i made gnocchi, i froze some without boiling at all, then when i made them (straight into the boiling water frozen), they just disintegrated into mush.
