Brussels Sprouts Gnocchi Pan Fried with Sage Butter

I recently posted the Banana Chocolate Chunk Nutella Muffins that I made for The Secret Recipe Club.  I had the blog Spinach Tiger and there were so many recipes that I wanted to try out that I couldn't just make one!  I posted the muffins for reveal day but I wanted to share another recipe that I had made from Angela's blog.  I had some leftover mashed potatoes so this was a perfect way to use them up!  I posted the ingredient amounts from the original recipe but I had to use a LOT more flour to be able to roll my "dough" out and keep it from falling apart.  Once these were cooked though they were really tasty!  These were a bit more work than I had anticipated for a quick weeknight dinner, but definitely worth the effort.
