Potato Spinach Balls

Keep your head up! Spring produce is around the corner. In the meantime, try this rather simple and delicious recipe for potato cakes, with the addition of carrots and fresh herbs. Both potatoes and carrots are high in dietary fiber, Vitamin A, and potassium. This recipe also comes in handy when I have leftover mashed potatoes! 

Ingredients

  • 1 pound potatoes, peeled (provided)
  • ½ cup, uncooked rice
  • 4 teaspoons vegetable oil divided
  • 2 small yellow onions diced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and grated (provided)
  • 5 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves, chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • 1 Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • 2 Add potatoes and cook until fork tender, 15-20 minutes.
  • 3 Remove from heat, drain, and mash potatoes.
  • 4 Cook your rice.
  • 5 In a large saucepan, heat oil. Add onions and saute for a few minutes. Add carrots and saute until tender 15-20 minutes.
  • 6 Remove from heat once finished.
  • 7 In a large mixing bowl, add rice, potatoes, carrots and onions, fresh parsley, and seasonings. Mix.
  • 8 Using your hands and a small portion of the mixture, make little balls by rolling the mixture with your palms.
  • 9 Heat oil in a frying pan, smash the ball onto the pan and fry until golden brown on each side. Just a few minutes.
  • 10 Serve
