Potato, courgette and onion patties with poppy seeds

INGREDIENTS
200 g potatoes
200 g courgettes
100 g onion
2 eggs
50 g grated grana
40 g breadcrumbs
Salt and pepper
Poppy seeds, optional
I peel potatoes, using blue Trentino potatoes, though ordinary ones work.

I chop and microwave covered with water and cling film about 15 minutes at full power, or boil normally.

I wash and trim courgettes.

I coarsely grate and press in a sieve to remove excess water.

I grate onion.

I rice cooked potatoes.

I add onion.

Then courgettes.

Then eggs.

Then salt and pepper.

I mix in grated Parmigiano.

I gradually add crumbs for a soft dough; more or less may be needed.

I make slightly flattened balls spaced on a parchment-lined tray.

I drizzle each with oil.

I scatter poppy seeds.


I bake at 180°C about 25/30 minutes.

Excellent with cured meats and cheese.
