Categories     appetizer

Time 1h15m

Yield 12 large or 24 small patties

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds red-skinned potatoes
1 1/4 pounds spinach, well rinsed
1 hot green chili, finely chopped
1/4 cup cilantro leaves, minced
1 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 1/4 teaspoons salt, or to taste
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 cup dry bread crumbs
2 to 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
Green or tamarind chutney

Steps:

  • Simmer potatoes in water to cover 20 to 30 minutes, until tender. Drain. Meanwhile, stem and finely chop spinach. Place in a large bowl with chili, cilantro, garam masala, cayenne, black pepper, salt and lemon juice. Add potatoes. Mix all ingredients, squeezing with your hands. There will be small chunks of potato.
  • Spread bread crumbs on a plate. Form spinach-potato mixture into 12 3-inch patties, using 1/2 cup of the mixture for each. Or use 1/4 cup each for 24 patties. To shape, pack mixture into a metal measuring cup, and tap out onto plate. Coat on both sides with crumbs. Arrange patties in a single layer on a baking sheet, and refrigerate at least 1 hour.

Tips:

  • For the creamiest results, use full-fat milk and cream. If you're looking for a lighter version, you can use low-fat or non-fat milk and cream, but the sauce won't be as thick and rich.
  • To make sure the potatoes are cooked through, poke them with a fork or knife. They should be tender all the way through.
  • If you don't have fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach. Just thaw it out and squeeze out any excess water before using it.
  • Bocconcini cheese is a soft, fresh cheese that is similar to mozzarella. If you can't find bocconcini, you can use mozzarella or another type of soft cheese.
  • Serve the potato and spinach bocconcini immediately, while it's still hot and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Potato and spinach bocconcini is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your sauce creamy or chunky, with or without meat, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
