Instructions

  • Heat the pan on high heat.
  • Add butter and let foam shortly.
  • Fry gnocchi: Reduce heat to medium-low and add the gnocchi. Pan fry gently, stirring a few times in between, to make sure that they get golden and crispy on both sides. They should remain fluffy on the inside, so don’t overcook them.
  • Serve fried gnocchi: Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Gnocchi choice: Either refrigerated, frozen, or vacuum-packed. Not dried ones.
