- 3 OZ. of Parmigiano Reggiano PDO, grated
- 3 of eggs

1
Wash the potatoes and boil with skin on. When cooked, peel them and mash them with a potato ricer while still hot.
2
Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Add the cauliflower florets and boil for 15-20 minutes, so that they remain crunchy. Line a baking tray with paper towels. Drain the cauliflower and let cool on the paper towels. Chop the florets in a blender with the leaves of 2 thyme sprigs and add to the mashed potatoes.
3
Beat 1 egg lightly with the Parmigiano, salt and pepper and add to the mashed potato mixture. Mix until incorporated.
4
Form the meatballs by working the mixture with your hands: if they are too soft, add a few Tbsp. bread crumbs.
5
Beat 2 eggs in a bowl and place breadcrumbs in a plate. Dip the cauliflower balls in the eggs, then in the breadcrumbs.
6
Bring oil to 350°F in a frying pan and fry until golden brown. Alternatively, place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake at 175-180^ celcius for around 15 minutes.
