I have found a recipe for gnocchi with cheese and potatoes, the instructions says to put all the ingrendients in a food processor, but it does not says to cook or bake the potatoes, can anyone tell me if the potatoes are raw?
here are some of the instructions
Place the potatoes, basil, garlic, salt, flour, ricotta, egg whites, and Parmesan in a food processor bowl and blend for about 1 minute, until a sticky dough is formed. If necessary stop and scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula to help blend well. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours.
a.. Bring one or more large pots of salted water to a rapid boil and cook the gnocchi in small batches for 6 to 8 minutes per batch. Cook only as many gnocchi as can rise to the surface without sticking together. Carefully remove the gnocchi with a slotted spoon to a warmed serving bowl. Keep the first batches warm in a 250 F oven while you finish the final batches.
a.. Serves 6 to 8.

Normally, gnocchi are made with cooked (boiled) potatoes.

I would boil the potatoes, and always use the mealy ones, if you use
the processor, you will get a gluey mess.

Exactly. Use only russet potatoes (they are drier), boil with skins on. The ricer will remove the skins. Never use a food processor on potatoes.
