Potato and cheese cookies: a savory and comforting appetizer In a world where quick and delicious appetizers are always welcome, potato and cheese cookies stand out for their simplicity and flavor. I invite you to discover this recipe full of aroma, inspired by a cookbook, but lovingly adapted to my tastes. These cookies are ideal for serving at a party, a gathering with friends, or simply to indulge in with family. Here’s how to prepare them step by step. Preparation time: 30 minutes Baking time: 20-25 minutes Total time: 55 minutes Number of servings: 19 cookies Ingredients: - 250 g potatoes (preferably white potatoes that mash easily) - 60 g butter - 200 ml water - 120 g corn flakes - 3 eggs (for added fluffiness and consistency) - 100 g rustic salami (or any other preferred type of salami) - Oil for frying (can be sunflower or olive oil) - A little dried thyme (for an aromatic taste) - A pinch of ground black pepper (for a bit of spice) - Salt, to taste - 100 g Delaco cheese (for perfect melting and delicious taste) Step 1: Preparing the potatoes The first essential step is to wash the potatoes well and boil them in their skins. This not only preserves the nutrients but also helps develop a finer texture. Boil them in salted water for about 20 minutes, or until soft. Once cooked, remove them from the water and let them cool slightly. Step 2: Preparing the dough In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, adding the 200 ml of water. While it heats, in a separate bowl, mix the corn flakes with the eggs. Once the butter has completely melted, add the corn flake and egg mixture to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the dough pulls away from the edges of the pan. It should be slightly moist and elastic. Step 3: Preparing the salami Cut the salami into thin slices. In a skillet, heat a little oil and fry the salami until it becomes slightly crispy. Remove it onto a paper towel to absorb any excess oil. This step adds a crunchy texture and intense flavor to the cookies. Step 4: Mashing the potatoes Peel the potatoes and rinse them well with water. Using a potato masher or a fork, mash them until you achieve a smooth puree. Add dried thyme, black pepper, and salt, mixing well to integrate the flavors. Step 5: Combining the ingredients In the saucepan with the dough, add the potato puree and the pieces of fried salami. Mix everything well, ensuring that the ingredients blend homogeneously. This mix will give the cookies a rich flavor and delicious texture. Step 6: Shaping the cookies Preheat the oven to 180°C. Wet your hands and form small balls from the dough, then flatten them slightly. Place the cookies on a greased baking tray. This will help achieve a golden and delicious crust. Step 7: Adding the cheese Grate the cheese on a large grater and distribute it evenly over each cookie. The cheese will melt and add a savory taste to the dish. Step 8: Baking Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the cookies are golden. Don’t forget to check them occasionally to avoid burning. Step 9: Serving Once baked, let the cookies cool slightly on a platter. These appetizers are delicious warm, but can also be enjoyed at room temperature. I recommend serving them alongside a fresh salad or a garlic yogurt dip for a contrast of textures and flavors. Useful tips: - You can adapt the recipe using different types of salami or even ham, depending on your preferences. - Replace the cheese with feta or goat cheese for a more exotic touch. - If you don’t have corn flakes, you can use breadcrumbs or cornmeal, but check the textures. Nutritional benefits: Potato and cheese cookies are a good source of complex carbohydrates, proteins, and healthy fats (thanks to the butter and cheese). Potatoes are rich in vitamins B and C, and cheese provides essential calcium for bone health. Calories: One serving contains approximately 150-200 calories, depending on the amount of oil used for frying and the type of salami chosen. Potato and cheese cookies are not just an appetizer; they are a true story of taste and aroma. Every time I make them, I remember the moments spent around the table with family and friends, enjoying the goodies cooked with love. So, I invite you to try them and adapt them to your liking. I assure you that the result will be one you won’t forget anytime soon!
