Directions
1. To make theFried Butter Gnocchi with Garlic & Parmesan: Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a medium or large skillet. Addgarlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet and heat until fragrant. Remove garlic from the skillet and set aside to avoid burning – you will add it back later. Leave the garlic-infused butter in the pan.
2.Add gnocchi to the pan (don’t clean up) and cook on high, stirring frequently for about 5 minutes. Continuously spread gnocchi evenly in the pan for crisp texture on all sides. You can add one minute for a crispier texture.
3.Add the garlic back to the pan, sprinkle half the parmesan and give a quick stir to coat well. Remove the garlic butter parmesan gnocchi from the pan and serve with remaining grated parmesan and chopped basil or parsley. Enjoy!
Note:Make sure to use skillet gnocchi, so you don’t have to boil them before cooking. All you have to do is cook them on the skillet for a few minutes. No more boiling water or draining.

I'm never boiling gnocchi again! I used regular gnocchi off the shelf and it puffed up and crisped up beautifully.

I love this recipe. I fried in extra virgin olive oil and finished with a dab of butter in each serving. Heaven! Thanks.
