Ingredients
- Ingredients
- 9 ozs floury potatoes
- 36 ozs Squash
- Nutmeg
- 4 Tbsps olive oil
- ½ cup grated Parmesan
- 1 egg
- 1 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
- 0.333 cup butter
- 10 leaves fresh Sage
- 2 cloves garlic cloves (finely sliced)
You can sprinkle parmesan on top if desired.
Preparation steps
Steam the potatoes for approx. 30 minutes until cooked. Dice 26 oz. squash and steam over boiling water for approx. 15 minutes until soft. Peel the potatoes and put the potatoes and squash through a potato ricer. Allow the steam to evaporate thoroughly.
Add 1 tsp salt, a pinch of nutmeg, 2 tbsp oil, the parmesan, egg and flour, and knead to a smooth dough which holds its shape well. Add more or less flour as needed. Shape the dough into finger-width sausages and cut into chunks approx. 1" wide. Place on a floured tea towel to rest for 1 hour.
Heat the oven to 400°F and line a baking tray with grease-proof paper.
