When you can't decide between pasta salad or potato salad, why not have both? This gnocchi potato salad recipe combines pillowy gnocchi with classic potato salad ingredients, including mayo, mustard and pickles.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 pound potato gnocchi
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 hard-boiled large eggs, chopped
1/4 cup chopped sweet pickles
Instructions
1Cook the gnocchi
2Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the gnocchi and cook until golden brown, about five minutes per side. Remove from the heat. Editor's Tip: Boiling shelf-stable gnocchi can result in a gummy and mushy texture, so we skip that step and saute them in butter instead.
3Make the dressing
4In a large bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt, pepper, minced fresh thyme and smoked paprika.
5Combine the ingredients
6Add the gnocchi to the bowl and stir to combine. Gently fold in the chopped eggs and pickles. Serve warm, or cover and chill in the fridge until ready to serve.
