Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Potato Gnocchi โ€“ 500g (fresh or high-quality store-bought)
  • Butter โ€“ 3 tbsp
  • White Truffle Oil โ€“ 1 to 2 tsp
  • Garlic โ€“ 2 cloves, minced
  • Fresh Herbs (parsley or chives) โ€“ 2 tbsp, finely chopped
  • Salt โ€“ to taste
  • Black Pepper โ€“ freshly ground, to taste
  • Parmesan Cheese โ€“ ยผ cup grated (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients. Thaw gnocchi if frozen. Mince garlic and finely chop fresh herbs to have everything ready for quick cooking and optimal flavor layering.
  2. Toast the Gnocchi: Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add gnocchi in a single layer and sautรฉ for 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown on all sides.
  3. Add Garlic and Herbs: Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Gently stir in the fresh herbs to retain their vibrant flavor.
  4. Finish with White Truffle Oil: Remove skillet from heat. Drizzle white truffle oil evenly over the gnocchi and toss to coat, releasing the rich truffle aroma.
  5. Season and Serve: Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Optionally sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top. Serve immediately to enjoy the toasted texture and warm flavors.

Notes

  • Donโ€™t Overcrowd the Pan: Toast in batches if necessary to ensure each piece crisps evenly.
  • Use Truffle Oil Sparingly: Add gradually to avoid overpowering the dishโ€™s delicate flavor.
  • Fresh Herbs Matter: Add right at the end to preserve aroma and brightness.
  • Serve Immediately: Enjoy hot to experience the contrast between crispy exterior and soft interior.
