We are going to prepare an interesting and original potato-based recipe that can be used both as a starter and as a main meal, combining different ingredients and shapes.
Ingredients for 6 people
- 1 kg of potatoes
- 5 tablespoons of wheat flour
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- Pepper
- Salt
For the stuffing:
- 300 g mushrooms
- 1 onion
- 4 tablespoons tomato sauce
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of pepper and thyme
- Salt
- Eggs (optional)
To pour on top:
- 150 g grated Emmental cheese
Preparation
To prepare the potato bowls, peel and wash the potatoes, grate them finely and then let them drain all the water.
Put the grated potatoes, flour, oil, pepper and salt in a bowl and mix well. With the resulting mixture, make several small balls, each about the size of an egg. Place the balls in muffin tins (for example) and shape each one by hand, sticking the potato dough to the sides of the tin until they look like a bowl.
Preheat the oven to 200 ºC, and place the muffin tins on top with the oven broiler. Bake for about 30-40 minutes until the bowls are golden brown on top, and once ready, take them out to cool.
In the meantime, prepare the filling. To do this, peel, wash and chop the onion, and then prepare a frying pan with olive oil in which you will fry the chopped onion. Then add the mushrooms, and when the onion is cooked and transparent, add the tomato sauce and fry everything for about 5 minutes. Finally add the pepper and salt, mix well and leave to cool.
After having previously grilled the bowls until golden brown, without removing them from the mould, fill them with the mixture and sprinkle with grated Emmenthal cheese or any other cheese you like. In addition to using this filling, other variations can be made by filling the bowls with eggs, for example.
When the potato bowls are filled, place them again with the moulds on the top of the oven to cook them on the grill, and leave them there for 10-15 minutes until the grated cheese is well melted or even a little browned, depending on how you like it. Take it out… And now you have the potato bowls ready to serve at the table.
Enjoy!
