Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, carefully add the Whole30-approved potato gnocchi into the water and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the gnocchi floats to the surface. Drain and set aside.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the drained gnocchi to the skillet in a single layer without overcrowding the pan. Fry the gnocchi for about 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
Remove the gnocchi from the skillet and set them aside. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the ghee. Allow it to melt completely, then add the sage leaves and minced garlic. Fry the sage leaves for 1-2 minutes until they are crispy and the garlic is fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Return the fried gnocchi back to the skillet, tossing them in the sage butter to coat well. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve the Whole30 Fried Gnocchi with Sage Butter immediately, garnished with additional sage leaves if desired. Enjoy your Whole30 compliant meal!
