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
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Salt
- Black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
- 1Ideally, 6 hours in advance, cook the potatoes in their skins: Place the potatoes in a pot, cover with plenty of water, add 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 bit 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, in a pan over medium heat, heat the butter and 1 tablespoon of oil, add the chopped onion, and sauté for 3–4 minutes. Then add the chopped baby spinach to the pan, turn off the heat, stir, 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.
- 4Now peel the cooked potatoes and finely grate them into a large bowl. Add the spinach mixture from the pan, egg yolks, milk, grated Edam, spelt flour, nutmeg, salt, and pepper to the grated potatoes and mix. Then take a piping bag with a nozzle, fill it with the resulting dough, and start forming meringues on the lined baking sheet with a diameter of 3–4 cm and a height of 3 cm.*
- 5Once you have used all the dough, place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes at 180–185 °C.
- 6Serve the meringues immediately after baking.
Tip
* Instead of meringues, you can shape the dough into balls using two spoons.
