Pan-fried potato gnocchi with crispy sage and browned butter Recipe, feeds two 1 large floury potato, about 1 lb. 5 kg, I used a russet 1 egg yolk (you can use the whole egg if you're doubling the recipe) 3/4-1 cup (90-120g) all-purpose flour pecorino or parmesan cheese for grating 1 bunch of fresh sage butter (I used almost half a stick, 50g) salt pepper Stab the potato a few times to create steam vents and bake or microwave the potato until soft. Cut it open and let it cool until you can go in with your fingers and pull out all the fluffy flesh, leaving behind the skin and any leathery bits that won't mash smooth. Smush the potato up with a fork (or a ricer, if you have one, and make a little well in the center of it. Put the egg yolk in the well, along with a big pinch of salt per portion (two pinches here, and grate in a little pile of cheese. Beat up the egg then sprinkle over some of the flour (you might not need it all. Start kneading the dough until you get it smooth, adding more flour as needed until you get moldable consistency. The dough will be easier to roll out if you can let it sit for 15 minutes or so at this point. Get a pot of water coming to a boil. Roll the dough out into a snake and cut it into little, bit-size dumplings. Be sure to kick the pieces away from each other with your knife as you cut they'll stick to each other if they touch. Dump the gnocchi into the water, being sure to keep them from sticking to each other as they go in, then stir them to make sure they don't stick to the bottom of the pot. As soon as they're in, get a pan (ideally non-stick) heating over medium heat and drop in a big knob of butter. Once the gnocchi are all floating on the surface, you can drain them it'll only take a couple minutes. Put them into the melting butter, and fry them until they're starting to brown if you're not using a teflon pan, be extra careful to keep them moving so they don't stick. When you're a bit short of the color you want, tear in whole sage leaves, and stir everything until the leaves are crispy and the gnocchi are as brown as you want them. You might need to add some butter if the pan is looking dry. Taste a dumpling for seasoning and consider stirring in some pepper and salt, but remember you might be about to grate more salty cheese on them. Dump everything on plates and grate over lots of cheese but maybe try a little orange zest instead of cheese? Sounds crazy, but it works surprisingly well with the sage

fun fact Adam: what you've made there (especially considering the shape) was closer to Polish kopytka than Italian gnocchi. They are basically the same thing ingredient-wise, but gnocchi is made more for holding sauces (and sometimes there are even filled gnocchi, while kopytka are exactly as you've made right there in your video; Poles usually serve it with pork rind and fried sauerkraut

I first had fried gnocchi at a restaurant many years ago and thought they were the best tasting gnocchi I had ever had. They served them with the traditional browned-butter and sage sauce. However, the ones they served had been deep fried. Don't know if that made the difference. But these looks just as delicious.

Tradition is just peer pressure from dead people. You do your own thing, man.
On a food note, Gordon Ramsay actually does it this way. He pan fries the gnocchi and serves with peas. He actually adds some lemon zest instead of orange zest. I cooked his recipe once, it was amazing! I ll give this one a try too

In Germany there is a variation of this, Schupfnudeln, which might also get pan seared. Traditional with Sourkraut and bacon cubes. Also very nice with poppy seed and almonds. Sweet or savory, both to be enjoyed. They go also very well with apple sauce!
How much better are fresh made versus store bought?

I do almost the exact same thing when I make pierogis. I find that if I just boil them, they re too mushy and just taste like nothing, so I par boil them, dry them off and set them on wax/parchment. Then I fry them in butter to get them a crispy crust to provide some texture. So good making them that way.

Hi Adam, i was wondering if you could make a video about the variation of candy temperature depending on the altitude, i live 2600 meters above sea level and have been struggling with my caramel cause even though i adjust de temperature it seems that i always go beyond whats supposed. Thank you!

Don't forget that activated charcoal is a very bad thing to drink if you are on some medication. Before getting yourself a can of June Shine or a black ice cream, please don't overlook this info.
Edit: Especially important for all you people on hormonal birth control!

This is the only Adam recipe that activates the part of my Italian brain that gets irrationally angry when people Do It Wrong. Seriously, a whole cup of flour for a single potato? Those don t even look like gnocchi anymore by the time you re done with them.
reply

I'm a little surprised Adam didn't mention that activated charcoal should NEVER be consumed if you are on medication as it binds to it so your body can't absorb it. Generally he's pretty good about catching things like that.

I hope I can make this. I am afraid I may not have the skills to do it. But this looks easier than some others I've seen. I love gnocchi but don't get to have it very often. Thanks for showing us how to do it.
