With a pretty, colored stripe hidden inside, these balls are fun to look at, and even better to eat! Best of all, they can be made in advance and frozen. Try this version, or any of the variations — either way they can’t be “beet.”
ground almonds, for coating
black pepper, to taste
1 cup defrosted broccoli
1 egg, beaten
oil, for frying
1 onion, diced
1 pound (450 grams) cooked potatoes
salt, to taste
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius). In a frying pan, sauté onion in oil until translucent and beginning to brown. Transfer to a large mixing bowl; add potatoes and mash until smooth. Stir in egg and season generously with salt and pepper. Place broccoli (or any preferred vegetable filling) in a separate bowl and mash until smooth. (You can also blend potatoes and then broccoli in a food processor, for a creamier consistency — either way is fine.)
Place ground almonds in a dish. Place a heaping tablespoon of potato mixture onto almonds, top with a tablespoon of broccoli mixture and then cover with another heaping tablespoon of potato mixture. Carefully roll the “pile” in almonds, forming into a coated ball. Repeat with remaining mixture.
Place balls onto a greased 9×13-inch baking pan. Spray with oil spray and bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes.

Striped potato patties Can these potato patties using sweet potato instead of broccoli be made in advance and frozen?
Hi Rifky.
I would freeze them par cooked or not cooked yet. And then fry when done.
