O gustare perfecta pentru pitici si nu numai: crochete de cartofi la cuptor, super gustoase, crocante la exterior si moi inauntru, vor fi adorate de toata lumea :) Sunt un aperitiv minunat pentru petreceri, dar si o idee grozava de a refolosi piureul ramas de la pranz, pentru a reduce risipa alimentara :)
Aluat:
- 500g cartofi
- 70g branza rasa
- 1/2 lgt pudra de usturoi
- cateva fire de marar
Topping:
- 1 ou
- 3 linguri de faina
- 50g pesmet
- 1 lgt boia dulce
Fierbem cartofii, ii pasam cu furculita, adaugand si 2 linguri din apa in care au fiert, apoi ii lasam sa se raceasca (ideal peste noapte). Cand s-a racit complet piureul il amestecam cu restul ingredientelor: branza rasa (puteti folosi ce branza doriti), mararul tocat si putina pudra de usturoi. Modelam bilute cat mingile de golf, aici va pot ajuta si cei mici :)
Amestecam pesmetul cu boiaua dulce si incepem sa facem crochetele: Luam cate o biluta, o dam prin faina, prin oul batut si apoi prin amestecul de pesmet. Punem bilutele pe o tava tapetata cu hartie de copt si coacem crochetele cam 17 min in cuptorul preincalzit la 200C, pana se rumenesc frumos :) Mie mi-au iesit 24 de bucati. Pofta mare!
*Baby-friendly: folositi foarte putina sare doar dupa varsta de 1 an, iar piper cu masura, fiind un condiment puternic si iritant gastric.
ENGLISH VERSION
A perfect finger food for toddlers and not only: baked potato balls crisp on the outside and soft in the center, everyone will love them :) They make an excellent appetizer at parties, but also a great idea for leftover mashed potatoes, to reduce food waste :)
Dough:
- 500 g potatoes
- 70 g grated cheese
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- a couple of dill threads
Topping:
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp flour
- 50 g breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp sweet paprika
Boil the potatoes, then mash them with a fork, adding a couple of tbsp of the water they boiled in. Let them chill completely, best overnight. When chilled enough, mix them with the cheese, chopped dill and garlic powder. Mold golf size balls, the kids can help you with that :)
Combine the breadcrumbs with the sweet paprika and start making the balls. Roll each ball into the flour, egg and breadcrumb mix, in thus order. Place the balls on a try lined with baking paper and bake at 200 C for 17 min, until nicely golden. I got 24 balls :) Enjoy!
