• Pepper
• nutmeg
• Vegetable oil for frying
• 100 g whole grain breadcrumbs

Instructions

1. 1.

   Peel the potatoes and cook them in salted water for about 30 minutes. Drain, press through a potato masher, and let steam off. Mix with egg yolks, parmesan, and butter into a well-formed dough. Add a little flour if needed until the dough no longer sticks. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

2. 2.

   Heat frying fat to 170°C. Portion the dough (e.g., with an ice cream scoop) and shape into balls. Coat the balls in breadcrumbs placed in a deep dish. Fry portions for 3–4 minutes until golden brown and drain on kitchen paper.
