Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons regular olive oil
- 8 ounces fresh gnocchi
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the gnocchi, making sure you separate them, and fry for 4 minutes. Then turn them around and give them another 4 minutes.
- Or if you’d prefer to bake them, tumble the gnocchi into a roasting pan, add the oil, and put it into a preheated 400 degrees F oven for 20 minutes, giving them a stir after 10 minutes.
- Cook’s Note:
- I would not advise frying frozen gnocchi, as they could cause the fat in the pan to splatter.

Reviews
These are so delicious. Just cook them properly. Crispy outside and fluffy inside! Thanks to Nigella Lawson for this recipe which I have made over and over again!
Please, please, please – don’t bother trying to roast them as per the instructions; it’s not worth it and your teeth won’t thank you. I love gnocchi but rock-hard little pellets which are gluey on the inside are not a pleasant accompaniment to anything!
I am giving this a 5 only because we changed it up a bit. We cooked these in a pan with olive oil. After browning this slightly we added salt, pepper, dry thyme & garlic powder. Then let them cook in the for just a little longer. I did not brown my as dark as the picture. This came out AMAZING!!!! My husband and I loved them so much. So happy to have found this recipe and I knew I would’ve had to add to them.
I just tossed these with a little bit of sea salt and rosemary. I used them instead of mashed potatoes or polenta with braised short ribs. They soaked up all the extra gravy and juices like a charm! So delicious!
Don’t get me wrong, it does take some skill to open a package of factory-made gnocchi, empty the contents into a frying pan, and toss them around in some oil until browned. Who needs seasoning? It’s overkill.
It was very delicious and a quick & easy potato dish.
I thought this was simple and creative. I added a little salt on mine and melted butter on the leftovers. It was easy to do and mine cooked pretty evenly as I just kept moving them around. Not the most gourmet thing but it was something different and pretty basic. I even liked them as leftovers and mine never once got mushy. I’m making them again tonight for my boyfriend along with Melissa’s orange chicken recipe and Ina’s garlic and soy sauce broccoli! Yum!
I think it is a quick fun little side dish.I like the way you can spice it up anyway you like to fit many different dishes. thanx !!!
I experienced total failure with this recipe. I used the same brand gnocchi I saw Nigella use on her demo; the result was a lightly toasted end product with an interior that was glue-like and tasteless.
I am giving Nigella 5 stars, due to her creativity in coming up with this. Yes, the gnocchi is a bit plain with just salt and pepper, however, there are many things you can add. You can dip them in a sauce or add more herbs and seasonings as mentioned. They are like little knishes or fried tater tots. It is such an easy way to make a great nibbler… However, if you don’t eat them all in the first sitting, just throw them away. They do not store or reheat well at all.
