Potato croquettes are served all over Italy but in Sicily they are also know as “Cazzilli di patate”. Here the recipe with only 5 ingredients:
- 1kg floury potatoes
- 200 gr pecorino cheese, grated
- 1 handful chopped Italian parsley
- Nutmeg (optional)
- 00 flour

- salt & pepper
Boil the potatoes in ample salted water, then drain, peel and mash. Add the salt, pepper, grated pecorino cheese, a little finely chopped parsley and, if desired, some grated nutmeg.
