It's been 7-8 years since I had this gnocchi salad at an Italian restaurant, and it's become one of my favorite dishes ever since.
I started by making them similar to potato mochi.
I found a recipe for pesto on COOKPAD, but can't recall whose recipe it is. My apologies.

I shaped them like shiratama dumplings, but you can also roll them into a log and cut them like icebox cookies. The imprint of the fork helps the dressing coat the gnocchi, but it's not necessary. Recipe by mielle

Steps

1

Boil the potato by microwaving it, then place it in a mortar. Add the flour and katakuriko, and lightly mix while mashing.
2

Transfer to a plastic bag, and work the dough until the flour is incorporated by massaging it from the outside of the bag.
3

Once the dough is no longer floury, coat your hands in oil, then roll the dough into desired sizes. Make an imprint on each piece with the back of a fork.
4

Boil. Once they float to the surface...
5

Immediately scoop them out and transfer to a bowl of water.
6

Combine the ingredients for the pesto then pour it over your salad.
7

Drain the gnocchi from Step 5, toss with the greens and serve.
