Cledne Recipe with Potatoes – A Rustic Delight Preparation time: 30 minutes Cooking time: 10 minutes Total time: 40 minutes Number of servings: 4 Cledne is a traditional recipe from Romanian cuisine, a potato-based delicacy that will delight your taste buds. This simple and delicious dish can be served as a side or even as a main course, making it ideal for family meals or special occasions. Let’s discover together how to prepare this delicious cledne! Ingredients: - 1 kg potatoes - 1 egg - 200 g flour (or as needed) - 1 teaspoon salt - Oil for frying Instructions: 1. Preparing the potatoes Start by washing the potatoes well, making sure to remove any impurities. Then, boil them in their skins in a large pot of salted water. Boil for 20-25 minutes or until tender, but do not let them fall apart. Once cooked, remove them from the water and let them cool completely. 2. Mashing the potatoes Once the potatoes have cooled, peel them and place them in a large bowl. Use a potato masher or a fork to mash them well. It is essential to achieve a smooth paste without lumps for the cledne to have a uniform texture. 3. Preparing the dough Add the egg and salt over the mashed potatoes. Start incorporating the flour gradually, mixing with a spatula or your hands. The flour will help bind the ingredients, so add only as much as necessary until the dough becomes homogeneous and no longer sticks to your hands. Be careful not to add too much flour, as the cledne will lose their fluffy texture. 4. Shaping the cledne Sprinkle a little flour on a clean work surface. Divide the dough into small portions and form balls or patties about 4-5 cm in diameter. If you wish, you can add a small piece of cheese in the center of each ball for extra flavor. 5. Frying the cledne In a deep skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the cledne, making sure not to overcrowd them. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Remove them onto a paper towel to absorb excess oil. 6. Serving The cledne can be served warm, alongside sour cream or yogurt sauce, which will perfectly complement their flavors. You can also add a fresh summer salad for a refreshing contrast. Notes and tips: - For a stronger flavor, you can add spices such as garlic powder or herbs to the dough. - If you prefer a healthier option, you can bake the cledne in the oven at 200°C for 20 minutes, turning them halfway through for a golden crust. - A unique idea would be to serve the cledne with a spicy tomato sauce or an olive paste for a Mediterranean touch. Cledne are not just a simple recipe, but also an opportunity to explore various tastes and textures. They bring a touch of tradition to modern cuisine and are perfect for any occasion. Enjoy this recipe and let it become a favorite in your family!
