Good to know

Chef's tip

For ultra-crispy gnocchi, never overcrowd the pan: they should be in a single layer. If needed, cook them in two batches 🔥. If the cheese sticks, take the pan off the heat before adding the Parmesan.

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes

Works very well, up to 2-3 months. Freeze in individual portions. May lose a little texture after thawing.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Keeps 3 to 4 days max in an airtight container in the fridge. The texture of pan-fried gnocchi softens after storage.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

The mushrooms, garlic, and parsley can be prepped the day before. The gnocchi can be pre-cooked and stored separately in the fridge, then pan-fried just before serving.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Oven 10-15min at 180°C to regain some crispiness. Air fryer 5-7min at 170°C. Microwave not recommended (softens the gnocchi, gummy texture). A skillet with a drizzle of oil can re-crisp the gnocchi.

Variations

Add red pepper flakes.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Serve immediately.

Mistakes to avoid

Stirring the gnocchi constantly: let them brown for 6 to 7 minutes for a crispy surface.
Burning the garlic: stir for 1 minute without burning it.
Adding the Parmesan over the heat: add it off the heat.
