Notes
- Other Ways To Enjoy Fried Gnocchi
- *Store bought gnocchi are found in the refrigerated pasta section. Not to be confused with the dried pasta gnocchi variety.
- The gnocchi should be just crispy on the outside. Don't fry them for too long or the centre will firm up on you'll lose the soft, fluffy centre.
- Serves 4 as a side dish or 6-8 as an appetizer
- Add garlic and parmesan
- Add pancetta/bacon, parmesan and fresh basil
- Drizzle with basil pesto
- Add sauteed onions
- Serve with steak and drizzle with parmesan cream sauce (my absolute favourite)
