  • Cut patty into four chunks
  • Roll out each chunk into a long roll and cut into pieces
  • Brush each piece against a fork to add texture for sauce to stick to
  • Boil until floating

Frying

You can also fry the Gnocchi after boiling. I noticed a lot of restaurants do this and it really transforms the texture.

As to if one should first boil then fry my research points to yes.

“I've always boiled my homemade gnocchi first, then sautéed it afterwards - it's a bit more delicate than shop-bought, and boiling helps to firm up the dumplings a bit” easycheesyvegetarian
