Easy Fried Gnocchi
Description
This recipe involves frying precooked, shelf-stable gnocchi in butter over medium heat. As the gnocchi cook, they develop a light crust that contrasts with their typically pillowy texture, adding a pleasant crispness. The frying process is quick and requires turning the gnocchi often to achieve an even golden color without burning. Serving the gnocchi directly after frying preserves their texture.
The optional creamy mushroom sauce adds a savory, velvety layer that pairs well with the neutral flavor of the fried gnocchi. This dish can function as a simple meal component or a decadent side.

- 2 cups gnocchi 1 x 15 oz packet of premade gnocchi, 500g, shelf stable
- 1 tablespoon butter
Optional sauce
- Creamy Mushroom Sauce
Instructions
- Heat the butter in a frying pan.
- Add the gnocchi and fry for a few minutes, turning often, until golden.
