Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams store-bought potato gnocchi
- 60 grams unsalted butter
- 10 leaves fresh sage leaves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 50 grams parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gnocchi as per package instructions, usually until they float to the surface, which takes about 2-3 minutes.
Drain the gnocchi and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the drained gnocchi to the pan in a single layer, making sure they do not overcrowd. Fry for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
Remove the crispy gnocchi from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add butter and let it melt over medium heat.
Once the butter starts to foam, add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add fresh sage leaves and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the leaves are fried and the butter is slightly browned.
Return the gnocchi to the pan, tossing them gently to coat in the sage butter.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Transfer to a serving platter and top with freshly grated parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately and enjoy the crispy texture and aromatic flavors!
