- Microwave on high power for 10 minutes or until soft when touched with a fork.
- In the meantime, continue pre-preparation – point 4.
Potatoes – Cooking in the Microwave
- Check the doneness of the potatoes.
- If they are soft, remove them from the microwave and let them cool.
Clean and squeeze the potatoes:
- Remove the peel from the potatoes (optional step), if you prefer you can also squeeze them with the peel.
- Squeeze them into a bowl, passing them through a potato masher or a large sieve.
- Cool slightly in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
- In the meantime, continue preparing the chicken filling.
Chicken stuffing (with cooked or already prepared chicken breast):
- In a pan, add a drizzle of oil or olive oil and heat it.
- Fry the chopped onion, garlic and chilli until the onion softens.
- Then add the tomato(s) cut without skin and seeds, fry until cooked and wilted.

Potato coxinha – gluten-free (also used for dumplings and other savory snacks) – PASTA
- With the potatoes cold, open a well in the bowl and add the beaten egg(s).
- Season with salt and mix the mixture well.
- Finally add half the gluten-free flour mix.
- Mix well with your hands until a homogeneous mixture is formed.
- Check if the dough forms a ball that comes away from your hands.
- If necessary, add the rest of the gluten-free flour mix, little at a time.
Potato coxinha – gluten-free (also used for ravioli and other savory snacks) – MODEL:
- Divide the dough into balls of 65 g each, 1.5 the size of a ping pong ball.
- Flour the counter and your hands.
- Take a ball and flatten it, forming a circle of about 8 cm.
- Place 1 dessert spoon of the filling in the center of the dough, or just enough so that they are well filled, but without excess so as not to make shaping difficult.
- Form the thighs: first close them in half, glue the ends well and then form a ball and thin the tip, giving the characteristic thigh shape.
- Dip the salt in a little gluten-free flour – a thin layer is enough.
- Arrange on a serving plate sprinkled with a gluten-free flour mix.
- Repeat the previous processes until you use up all the dough and give it the final shape.
Potato coxinha – gluten-free (also used for ravioli and other savory snacks) – Breading:
- Place the finely toasted cassava flour in a bowl and mix it with the paprika.
- Stir to combine well. Check if the color is very “golden” or even “reddish”.
- In another bowl, place the egg(s) and whisk. Dilute with a little water.
- If necessary, sprinkle a little more gluten-free flour mix over the snacks.
- Dip in the beaten egg(s) and then in the toasted cassava flour with paprika.
- At the end of this step, you can continue the process – frying or roasting – or freeze them to use them on another occasion (to freeze them, arrange them without overlapping them, on a baking tray covered with transparent film).
Potato Coxinha (also used for ravioli and other savory snacks) – Frying:
- Heat a skillet or deep frying pan with enough oil to fry the savory appetizers, in small quantities, by immersion.
- If you have a thermometer, wait until the oil reaches 180°C if prepared fresh or 200°C if frozen.
- Dip the gnocchi in the hot oil, fry them and brown them on all sides until they are golden.
- For frozen snacks, leave a little more time because they must remain warm inside.
Potato coxinha – gluten-free (also used for ravioli and other savory snacks) – Bake:
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Meanwhile, place the snacks in the freezer to keep them cold.
- Transfer the snacks to baking sheets greased with olive oil or lined with baking paper.
- On each of them put a drizzle of oil.
- Cook the snacks for 15 minutes, remove from the oven, increase the temperature to 220°C and turn them to brown on the other side.
- Remove them when they are golden brown all over the surface – estimated time 5 to 10 minutes.
- For already frozen snacks, start cooking in a preheated oven at 180°C for 10 minutes – defrosting time, then increase to 200°C and follow the other previous steps, finishing at 220°C, until they are golden brown and with a crispy crust on all sides.
FINALIZATION AND ASSEMBLY:
- Distribute the gluten-free potato legs on a serving plate and decorate as desired.
- Serve with pepper sauce (optional).
