Main Ingredients

For Appenzeller Swiss Potato Croquettes

Method

Preparing the Beef Bourguignon

  1. 1

    Sear the Beef

    In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef with salt and pepper, then sear in batches until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same pot, add pearl onions, carrots, and mushrooms. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Garlic and Herbs

    Add minced garlic, thyme, and bay leaves to the pot, stirring for 1 minute until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Deglaze and Simmer

    Pour in the red wine and scrape the bottom of the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Return the beef to the pot and add beef broth. Cover and simmer on low for 2-3 hours until the beef is tender.

Making the Potato Croquettes

  1. 5

    Prepare Potatoes

    Boil the cubed potatoes until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash with butter, salt, and pepper. Allow to cool slightly.

  2. 6

    Combine with Cheese

    Mix in the grated Appenzeller cheese and beaten egg until well combined.

  3. 7

    Form Croquettes

    Shape the potato mixture into small logs or patties. Roll in breadcrumbs to coat.

  4. 8

    Fry or Bake

    Heat oil in a skillet and fry the croquettes until golden brown on all sides, or bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes.
