Ingredients
- 280 g potatoes (approx. 2 medium-small)
- 100 g Mortadella
- 50 g grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- salt
- nutmeg
- breadcrumbs
- Frantoio extra virgin olive oil by Pruneti
Method
- Boil the potatoes (I cooked them for 5-10 minutes in the microwave).
- Peel them and mash them with a fork in a bowl or, as I did, mash them with all their skin in a potato masher.
- Chop the mortadella with a knife, not too finely.
- Add the mortadella, egg, salt (just a pinch, or the meatballs will be too tasty) and nutmeg to the bowl.
- Start mixing, then incorporate the Parmesan into the mixture.
- With dampened hands, begin to form the meatballs, the size of a large walnut, passing them as you go in the breadcrumbs and then placing them on a plate.
- Heat a little Frantoio extra virgin olive oil by Pruneti in a non-stick frying pan and start cooking the meatballs, turning them occasionally (gently) to brown them evenly.
- As soon as the bologna patties are golden brown, serve them immediately.
