Ingredients
- 500 g of potatoes
- 100 g of type 0 flour
- 200 g of provola
- 200 g of champignon mushrooms
- 200 g of fresh baby spinach
- 1 garlic clove
- ½ glass of white wine
- Extra virgin olive oil, to taste
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Step-by-step preparation
- Boil and mash the potatoes
Peel the potatoes, cut them into cubes, and boil until fully cooked. Mash them with a potato masher and place them in a bowl with the flour, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Knead until you obtain a smooth, homogeneous mixture. - Cook the mushrooms
Clean the champignon mushrooms and slice them thinly. Sauté them in a pan with olive oil and garlic, then deglaze with the white wine. Cook for 5 minutes, season with salt, and set aside. - Sauté the baby spinach
In a pan with a drizzle of olive oil, wilt the baby spinach with a pinch of salt, cooking covered with a lid. - Prepare the filling
Cut the provola into shavings or small cubes. Combine it with the cooked mushrooms and spinach. - Shape the potato cakes
Take a handful of the potato mixture and create a hollow in the center of your palm. Add a teaspoon of filling, close it to form a ball, then gently flatten it to give it the shape of a small cake. - Pan-fry
Heat a non-stick pan with a drizzle of oil. Cook the potato cakes on both sides until golden and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside.
