Ingredients

  • 600 gr / 20 oz yellow potatoes

  • 10 leaves of mint

  • 20 gr / 1 oz of Parmesan or Pecorino cheese (optional)

  • salt

  • extra virgin oil

How to

  • Steam the potatoes until soft at the core. Most importantly, do not boil them: we have to avoid them to fill with water.
  • Place in a bowl your finely chopped mint leaves.

  • Add the potatoes and mash them with a fork. I do not recommend to use a blender because as a result you will get a totally different texture.
  • Add parmesan or pecorino and sprinkle a pinch of salt. Mix all well.
  • Allow the potatoes mash to cool down a little. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200°C / 400°F.
  • Form the tots by taking a small amount of dough and modeling it into a oval shape. You can also roll it into balls, if the shape is difficult.
  • Place them on a cooking sheet and coat them with a little oil.
  • Bake for 30 minutes and right after that serve them hot.
  • Prepare yourself to re-bake them, because someone will surely ask!

Notes

  • Similarly, you can also fry the bites in extra-virgin olive oil.
