INGREDIENTS
- 300 g raw potatoes (cooking type C)
- 100 g yellow onion
- 80 g fresh baby spinach
- 20 g butter
- 1 tablespoon rapeseed or sunflower oil
- 60 g Edam (30% fat in dry matter)
- 3 egg yolks
- 50 ml semi-skimmed milk
- 40 g whole grain spelt flour, fine
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Salt
- Black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
- 1Ideally 6 hours in advance, boil the potatoes in their skins: Place the potatoes in a pot, cover with enough water, salt, and bring to a boil over high heat. Once the water starts boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook the potatoes for 30–35 minutes. After this time, check if the potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork – if not, cook them a little longer (the total cooking time depends on the size of the potatoes). Drain the cooked potatoes and let them cool thoroughly.
- 2Next, peel the onion and chop it finely. Roughly chop the baby spinach. Then, heat butter and 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat, add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté for 3–4 minutes. Subsequently, add the chopped baby spinach to the pan, turn off the heat, mix, and let the mixture cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
- 3Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180–185 °C, line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and finely grate the Edam cheese.
- 4finely grate the Edam cheese. Now, peel the cooked potatoes and finely grate them into a large bowl. To the grated potatoes, add the spinach mixture from the pan, egg yolks, milk, grated Edam cheese, spelt flour, nutmeg, salt, and pepper, and mix. Then, take a piping bag with a piping nozzle, fill it with the resulting dough, and start forming puffs with a diameter of 3–4 cm and a height of 3 cm.*
- 5Once all the dough is processed, place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes at 180–185 °C.
- 6Serve the puffs immediately after baking.
Tip
* Instead of puffs, you can form balls from the dough using two spoons.
