Why It Works

Broiling the gnocchi puffs them up and gives them a gloriously crispy, crunchy surface.

Parisian gnocchi (or, more accurately, gnocchi à la Parisienne) are the even pillowier, even easier to make cousin of Italian gnocchi. And one of the easiest and tastiest ways to cook them is to broil them in a cast iron skillet.

I brown just enough butter to give them a nice coating, add the gnocchi and toss to combine, then cover them in a blanket of finely grated Parmesan cheese. After a brief stint under the broiler, they come out puffed and crisp, ready to be served straight out of their skillet. That's a big ol' taste of comfort right there.

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Adjust rack to 6 to 8 inches below broiler element and preheat broiler to high. Heat butter in a 12-inch cast iron skillet or two 10-inch cast iron skillets over medium-high heat until foaming subsides and butter starts to brown. Add gnocchi in a single layer and toss to coat with browned butter. Cover with cheese, then transfer to broiler. Cook until puffed and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with herbs and serve.
