Step-by-Step Build How to Assemble the Stuffed Potato
Here’s how to assemble the stuffed potato, translated from the original directions: 1. Cook the potatoes and let them cool. Once cooled, use a Parisian scoop to scoop out 6 hollows from them — three on each side. 2. Gather the scooped potato pieces in a bowl and set them aside for later. 3. Mix the ground beef with a pinch of parsley, salt and pepper to prepare the mini meatballs. 4. Mix the ingredients well and form the meatballs. They should be about the size of the hollows scooped from the potatoes, so they fit inside. 5. Place the 3 mini meatballs into the hollows in the potato. 6. Then place 3 mozzarella balls into the remaining hollows in the potato. 7. Crush the potato pieces set aside earlier with a fork. 8. Add the egg yolk, the starch, a little milk and a good pinch of nutmeg and mix everything well. 9. Press the mashed potato mixture from all sides onto the stuffed potato so it is fully encased. 10. Drag lines through the mashed potato mixture with a fork and freeze the potatoes for 1.5 hours. 11. Bread the frozen potato. Roll it first in flour, then in a beaten egg and finally in breadcrumbs. 12. Fry the stuffed potato for about 7–8 minutes in oil heated to 150°C until golden brown. 13. Serve the baked potato like a baked potato, preferably with a chive sour cream dip. Amazing how the combination of three such simple ingredients can become such a unique flavor experience.
