    Definitely going to make again. Consistency was great.

    This one was a big hit at my house! Family-friendly and weeknight-friendly, will repeat. Rather than brown a portion of the thighs, I just pulled the skins off and browned those. The skins get discarded after cooking anyway, and it was a faster way to get the schmaltz and build flavor without overcrowding the cooker.

    This was a tasty, comforting dish. I used boneless, skinless breast and thighs, so added a spoonful of better than bouillon and a TB of fish sauce with the stock to make for the extra flavor. And honestly it was nice to not have to deal with the bones and skin. Used haricots vert, so cooked only for two minutes at the end. While I missed the traditional ethereal, cloud-like dumplings, this was so easy and delicious! And the smoked paprika is the perfect finishing touch!

    Didn’t realize until I started cooking (i know, I really need to get better about this) that this requires a pressure cooker, which I don’t have. But I went with my instincts, and lived this homey, tasty meal on a chilly evening. The gnocchi really works.

    Very good. The gnocchi is denser than the dumplings I normally make but this is certainly easier. The gnocchi also holds up well as leftovers. This is an instapot recipe but it could easily be made in a Dutch oven probably in the same amount of time once you factor in the time needed to bring the instapot up to pressure.

    This is delicious and so easy. The use of shelf-stable gnocchi is genius, I don’t love it as pasta but for this non-southerner, it really worked texturally. Do not skip the apple cider vinegar.
