Using your leftovers: These gnocchi are delicious little pillows of mash bound together and flecked with herbs ITFoodMonth

Leftover mashed potatoes are always a blessing. They are a pot of potential for transforming into so many different things, from fish cakes to soup. These gnocchi are delicious little pillows of mash bound together and flecked with herbs. I love using herbs in the kitchen and rely heavily on them, during cooking, and to finish a dish. They bring a depth of flavour during cooking and then a lightness and freshness when added to finish a dish.

This recipe is a great way to use any tired or limp herbs. Just finely chop them and mix into the dough as they still have lots of flavour. Basil, oregano, marjoram, dill, parsley or chives would all work well. Instead of just topping this with a little butter, we’ll go the extra mile and brown the butter in a pan till nutty and caramelised. This makes a simple but delicious sauce that smells incredible. This brown butter is great with fish, just add a spoonful of capers and a flattened clove of garlic then finish with a squeeze of lemon juice.
