The fried potato gnocchi are also perfect to serve as a side to a tasty aperitif. I seasoned them with smoked paprika, but you can alternatively use spices like curry or turmeric or aromatic herbs like rosemary or thyme. Crispy potato gnocchi can also be made with smaller potato gnocchi, which you can always find in bags at the supermarket. The cooking time may vary depending on the type of air fryer you use.

How to prepare potato gnocchi in the air fryer
Let’s start preparing potato gnocchi in the air fryer. Place the gnocchi on a plate, spray 3 puffs of extra virgin olive oil, and sprinkle with smoked paprika. The amount depends on your taste. If you desire a more intense flavor, you can add more.
Mix the gnocchi well so that they all get a coating of extra virgin olive oil and smoked paprika, or other seasonings or spices you choose to use.
Place the parchment paper on the basket of your air fryer, pour in the seasoned potato gnocchi with oil and seasonings, and cook at 392°F for 10 minutes. Halfway through, open the basket and shake it so that the gnocchi can turn for even cooking.
Once cooked, remove the potato gnocchi from the air fryer and place them in a bowl or on a plate, and sprinkle with salt. They are very good warm or at room temperature.
