Stuffed Potato Balls With Yellow White Lentil Soup And Choorm Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Prick the potatoes with a fork and microwave until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to the oven rack and bake until soft, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, finely chop the red onion. Put 2 tablespoons chopped onion in a small bowl; cover with cold water and let soak 10 minutes. Drain, pat dry and set aside for topping. Chop the poblano and grate the carrot.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining red onion, the poblano and carrot; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the lentils, chili powder and cumin; cook until the spices are toasted, about 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are coated. Stir in the tomatoes and their juices, 1 1/2 cups water and a large pinch of salt. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened slightly, about 10 minutes.
• Split the potatoes open. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Fluff the flesh with a fork. Sprinkle with half the cheese, then top with the chili. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and the reserved red onion.

Steps:

• Mix together the Mashed Potatoes, flour, egg, parsley, Parmesan, mozzarella and black pepper in a bowl. Place the breadcrumbs on a large plate.
• Form the potato mix into 12 golf-ball-sized balls. The mixture will be a little sticky, so wet your hands a little as you go. Place the balls directly on the breadcrumbs and roll each ball in the breadcrumbs, pressing to make sure they stick well. Put the breadcrumbed balls on a plate.
• Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven to 375 degrees F, or until the mixture bubbles when a breadcrumb is added.
• Add the balls to the oil and fry until golden brown on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes total. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle immediately with salt.
• Garnish with more Parmesan and parsley.
• Peel and cut the potatoes into pieces of approximately the same size. Bring a large pot of water to a simmer and add the potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook until a fork easily slides into the potatoes with no resistance and the potatoes almost, but not totally, fall apart, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Drain the potatoes in a large colander. Place them back into the dry pot and put the pot on the stove. Mash the potatoes over a low heat, allowing all the steam to escape.
• Turn off the stove and add the butter, cream cheese and half-and-half. Mash, mash, mash! Add the seasoned salt and black pepper.
• Stir well and place in a medium baking dish. Throw a few pats of butter over the top of the potatoes and place bake until the butter has melted and the potatoes are warmed through, a few minutes.

Steps:

• Mix together first four ingredients to make a rough paste.
• Roll into 24 small balls.
• Wrap each ball in one of the quarters of prosciutto.
• Serve.
