Hazelnut Crusted Potato Balls
Adapted from More Than Gourmet
In this recipe for vegetarians we have substituted the use of vegetable oil for Graisse de Canard Gold for frying. Although the Graisse de Canard adds a special touch we are sure you will enjoy these festive potato balls either way. You can make them ahead and keep them warm in a slow oven.
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour seasoned with salt and pepper2 eggs, beaten
1 cup Japanese Bread Crumbs (Panko) or fine white bread crumbs
3/4 cup hazelnuts, finely chopped
1 lb baking potatoes, peeled, boiled, and mashed until smooth and cooled
2 tbs flat-leaf parsley, minced
pinch grated nutmeg
vegetable oil, for frying
-
1. Place seasoned flour and beaten eggs in shallow dishes.
2. Combine bread crumbs and hazelnuts in a third bowl.
3. Add parsley to potatoes and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
4. Roll into 1-inch balls. Dip each ball into flour, then egg, and finally into the bread crumbs-hazelnut mixture, setting them on a cake rack while finishing the remaining balls.
5. Pour Graisse de Canard Gold® or vegetable oil into a nonstick skillet to a depth of 1/2-inch.
6. Heat over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add potato balls, a few at a time, to hot fat and fry until rich golden brown, turning
to color on all sides.
7. Remove, blot on paper towels, and serve or keep warm in a slow oven.
