Ingredients
FOR THE PASTRY
- 1 cup potato 250 grams, mashed, cooled, lightly packed (about 2 medium potatoes
- 1 large egg yolk
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1-2 dashes black pepper
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese 50 grams, freshly grated
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour 100 grams
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon parsley fresh, minced
*Boil the potatoes in salted water and mash, do not add anything extra.
EXTRAS
- 2-4 lices ham or prosciutto or turkey; thin strips or cubes
- ½ cup fontina cheese small cubes; or gruyere or firm mozzarella or your choice
- 1-2 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl add the mashed potatoes, egg, salt and pepper. Start to combine with a fork. Then add the parmesan cheese, flour, baking powder and chopped parsley and mix to almost combine.
- You can either mix this dough by hand or with a food processor. When almost combined move to a floured flat surface and knead into a ball. Wrap in plastic and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Cut your choice of cheese and ham or prosciutto into small pieces.
- Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C). Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- It's easier to work with half the dough at a time, on a floured flat surface, lightly flour the top of the pastry (if you find it sticky) roll the dough into 1/8 inch thickness and cut out with round or even heart cookie cutters (2 ¾ - 3 inches / 7 cm). Make sure you have an even amount of cut outs. Place half the rounds on the prepared cookie sheets.
- On one of the rounds, place some cut up ham or prosciutto and 3-4 small cubes of your favourite cheese. Cover with another round, seal shut with your fingers (easier if you dip them in water first) then close again with the tongs of a fork. Drizzle with olive oil then bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately.
