Hi everyone,

This morning I confronted some left-over potato and parmesan gnoochi. Thought I try frying them in clarified butter along with garlic, pancetta and some fresh mint (fried the leaves whole until they became brittle, then used them as a garnish). Eaten with grated parmesan, they were surprisingly good.

I don't think I'm the first to have thought of this, however. So I wonder what, if anything, fried gnoochi are called? Just fried potato dumplings ... or something else?

According to La Cucina, you hit the nail on the head the first time. This is simply fried gnocchi.

If it will help you can also call them gnocchi fritti.
