Burrata Topping

Method

Preparing the Potatoes

  1. 1

    Boil the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the potatoes into quarters. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Mash the Potatoes

    Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, mash them in a bowl until smooth. Set aside to cool completely.

Making the Croquettes

  1. 3

    Prepare the Mixture

    In the cooled mashed potatoes, add the flour, eggs, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined. If the mixture is too wet, add a little more flour.

  2. 4

    Shape the Croquettes

    Take a small amount of the potato mixture and shape it into a small cylinder or ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used.

  3. 5

    Coat the Croquettes

    Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Roll each shaped croquette in the breadcrumbs to coat thoroughly.

  4. 6

    Fry the Croquettes

    In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, fry the croquettes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Making the Bacon Jam

  1. 7

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and drain on paper towels, leaving the fat in the pan.

  2. 8

    Make the Jam

    Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Add the brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, and black pepper. Cook for about 10-15 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.

  3. 9

    Combine with Bacon

    Crumble the cooked bacon into the jam mixture and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.

Preparing the Burrata Topping

  1. 10

    Prepare the Burrata

    In a small bowl, drizzle the burrata with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Top with chopped fresh basil.

Assembling the Dish

  1. 11

    Plate the Croquettes

    On a serving plate, arrange the fried potato croquettes. Spoon generous amounts of bacon jam on top of each croquette.

  2. 12

    Add Burrata

    Top each croquette with the prepared burrata and serve immediately while hot.
