PREPARATION:
- Start by roasting the sweet potatoes (this step can also be done 1 day in advance) – see preparation.
- Set aside the other utensils and ingredients for the recipe.
- This recipe yields 5 medium snacks (75g) for every 2 people.
PREPARATION:
Sweet Potatoes – Bake (do this step before starting pre-prep):
- Wrap the sweet potatoes (see quantities in the ingredients) whole and without peel in aluminum foil.
- Arrange on a baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C until soft to the touch with a fork: the estimated time is 45 minutes.
Filling of your choice:
- While the sweet potatoes are cooking, you can prepare your favorite filling, such as chicken filling.. See the recipe HERE.
Sweet potatoes – cleaned and squeezed:
- Once the sweet potato is soft, remove it from the oven.
- Let it cool a little, remove the skin.
- Squeeze them into a bowl, passing them through a potato masher or a large sieve.
- Leave to cool in the refrigerator (if you want you can even overnight).
Sweet potato dough for coxinha, gnocchi and other savory dishes:
- With the cold sweet potato, mix the other dough ingredients until smooth. Add saffron to taste, the ideal is to obtain a light yellow mass.
- Divide it into portions the size of ping pong balls. If you can weigh each ball, it should weigh 50g.
- With wet or greased hands with a drizzle of oil, take a piece of dough, make a ball and flatten it in the palm of your hand.
- Place 2 teaspoons of your favorite filling in the center of the dough. If you have a scale, the quantity is approximately 20 g.
- Close the dough around the filling, covering it completely and giving it the specific shape for each type of savory dish.
- Dip the salt in a little gluten-free flour – a thin layer is enough.
- Repeat the previous processes until you use up all the dough and give it the final shape.
Potato dough for coxinha, gnocchi and other savory dishes – Breading:
- Place the breading mixture in a shallow dish. Stir to combine well. Check if the color is very “golden” or even “reddish”.
- Wet your hands, feel the snacks…
- Dip them in the gluten-free breading mixture and press lightly so that the mixture adheres well.
- At the end of this phase, 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 dough for coxinha, dumplings and other tasty dishes – Frying:
- Heat a skillet or deep skillet with enough oil to fry the savory snacks, 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 appetizers into 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 dough for coxinha, dumplings and other savory dishes – 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 fit snacks on a serving plate and decorate as desired.
