Ingredients

  • 2 cups sweet potato gnocchi (store bought or recipe on this site)
  • vegetable oil for frying
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon lemon zest
  • ½ teaspoon fresh thyme leaves chopped
  • ¼ cup blue cheese crumbled

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. If using frozen gnocchi, thaw the gnocchi to room temperature. (Frozen gnocchi will splatter grease more -- best to thaw it first)
  2. To a medium skillet, add about ½ inch of vegetable oil and heat over medium high heat to about 350°-375°.
  3. Add about ⅓ cup of gnocchi to the hot oil at a time and cook for 2-3 minutes, flipping occasionally until browned and fragrant. Transfer the gnocchi with a kitchen spider or slotted spoon to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Sprinkle with a little of the salt.
  4. Continue cooking the remainder of the gnocchi in the same manner, finishing with a light sprinkle of the salt.
  5. Transfer the hot gnocchi to a serving dish and sprinkle with lemon zest, thyme leaves and crumbled blue cheese. Serve hot.
