Elle's Kitchen: Parmesan Panko Potato Balls

 

I saw this recipe in a magazine the other day

and decided to make them.  Mr. Wonderful &

I are home from another adventure and we are

having fun getting back to everyday life.  This

evening we had a leisurely dinner that stretched

out over much of the evening.  We started with

this as our appetizer. then had a salad course

and later the entree all while watching Revenge

on Netflix.  There's no place like home...

 

 

Ingredients:

 

2/3 cup Panko (breadcrumbs)

2/3 cup grated parmesan

1 tbls. Italian Herb Seasoning

1 1/2 teas. Garlic Salt

1/8 teas. Crushed Red Pepper

1/2 cup flour

2 eggs, beaten

1 1/2 pounds very small yellow potatoes

Olive oil cooking spray

 

Warm Marinara or Pesto for dipping

 

Preheat oven to 400F.

Line a baking sheet with foil.

 

Stir together Panko, parmesan, Italian

Herbs, Garlic Salt and Red Pepper in

a bowl.

 

Place flour and eggs in separate bowls.

 

 

Place potatoes on foil and spray with Olive

Oil spray.  Roll each potato in flour, then egg

and then breadcrumb mix.  Make sure to coat

well with each step.

 

Place back on foil and spray again.  Bake for

35 to 40 minutes or til lightly browned and

tender when pierced with a fork.  Coat with

cooking spray twice during cooking.

 

 

Serve with a marinara or pesto sauce

for dipping.  I used the Hunt's Fire-roasted

Tomatoes and puree them in a blender then

adda bit of basil in a tube.

 

 

 

They were pretty good but next time I

think I would scoop a bit of the potato

out with a melon baller and add some

Chevre or an herbed cream cheese with

a bit or bacon or roasted red pepper.  It

needed a bit more zing...
