Time 1h15m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound small potatoes, scrubbed
1 cup almonds
1 cup white sugar
1 egg white
1 cup chopped almonds

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, 20 to 30 minutes. When done, you can stab them with a fork, and they will fall off easily. Drain, cool slightly, and peel.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place 1 cup of almonds into a food processor, and grind to a fine powder. Add sugar to almonds, and process to mix. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add potatoes to the almond mixture, and mash together until it becomes a very thick paste. Roll into 1 inch balls, and roll the balls in chopped almonds. Place cookies on a baking sheet, and brush with egg white.
  • Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until the tops are brown. Gently remove from the baking sheets, and cool on a plate in the refrigerator. Serve cold. They are supposed to be squishy when you eat them.

The panellets were a little dry, but they had a nice flavor. I think I would add more butter or oil to the potato filling next time.

These panellets were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.
