Start by boiling the potatoes: Peel the potatoes and cut them into quarters. Place them in a pot of cold, salted water, then bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. Pass them through a potato ricer or mash them thoroughly until smooth.
In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, gluten-free flour, tomato paste, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms. If the dough feels too sticky, add a little more gluten-free flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it is pliable but not tacky.
Lightly dust your work surface with gluten-free flour. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and roll each piece into a long rope about 1/2 inch thick.
Cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces to form the gnocchi. Optionally, use the tines of a fork to press gently on each piece to create ridges, which help sauce cling better to the gnocchi.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, cook the gnocchi by dropping them into the boiling water. They are done when they float to the surface, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the cooked gnocchi with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate or baking sheet. (Optional: Toss them lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.)
To serve, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and lightly sauté the gnocchi until golden on the outside, about 3-4 minutes. Alternatively, serve directly with your favorite sauce and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, if desired.
