A variety, not an Italian origin
For gnocchi made abroad, Russet Burbank offers high solids and low moisture. Keep that variety distinct from Italian cultivars and from the broader group of white-fleshed potatoes.
Check the actual variety and the recipe you use; other potatoes can also be used for gnocchi.
