Do you have different types of potatoes? Here (northeast US) we
usually have different varieties to choose from, depending on the use.

Then, there is the age of the potato, new and old will be different.

If you think the potatoes are too soft for gnocchi, try baking them
instead of boiling. Poke several holes in the skin first to allow
moisture to escape while baking.
