Notes
Tips
The key to making sure the gnocchi is cooked evenly is to cook it in a single layer. If you overcrowd the pan, the dumplings may steam instead of being air-fried. As a result, they will not be as crispy.
Another thing to remember is to flip the gnocchi or shake the basket halfway through cooking so that both sides are evenly crispy.
