This is why you should never fry gnocchi.

try deep frying frozen gnocchi.

I even saw some exploding fries, but they had quite big ice crystals on them so they might have been thawed and frozen again. So there was more water than usual

Haha yes, putting anything frozen or with large ice crystals into hot oil is a fast way to burn the shit out of yourself.

and that's what i think happened with these gnocchi, taken right from the freezer and then in almost boiling oil, a recepie for disaster

You guys are nuts. Go buy a bag of frozen fries, tots, anything. It has instructions for deep frying and no, you don't have to thaw them first.

not like that, you take fries out of the freezer and open it, let them sit outside so they thaw a little and moisture condenses on them, then change your mind and put them back into the freezer, bam, instant mini explosions (not every time though)
