Ingredients
- 500 grams Whole30-approved potato gnocchi
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Ghee
- 10 leaves Fresh sage leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Serve the Whole30 Fried Gnocchi with Sage Butter immediately, garnished with additional sage leaves if desired. Enjoy your Whole30 compliant meal!
