Ingredients
- 5 medium potatoes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp pepper
- 0.33 cup heavy cream
- 1 egg
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 10 slices white bread
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Peel the potatoes, cut them in half, and put them on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes and season them with salt and pepper. Transfer the pan to the oven and cook for 25 minutes – the potatoes should be softened and have a little bit of color afterwards.
- Put the white bread slices on top of each other and cut them into small cubes. Spread them on a sheet pan and dehydrate them in the oven at 300°F for about 10 minutes.
- Allow the potato halves to cool a bit and then hollow them out with a spoon.
- Put the insides of the potatoes you just scraped out into a bowl and mix with heavy cream and shredded cheese. Spoon the mixture back into the hollowed-out potato halves.
- Take 2 potato halves and press them back together to form a whole potato. Repeat with the rest of the potatoes.
- Add the ground beef, bread crumbs, eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper to a bowl and mix well.
- Cover each potato with some of the beef mixture and seal it.
- Press the potato meatballs into the croutons and fry them in hot oil at 325°F.
