Ingredients

• 3 medium Russet potatoes
• 3 cups Fresh spinach
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 0.5 cups Oat flour
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0 Olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks, then boil them in a pot of water until fork-tender (about 10-15 minutes). Drain and let them cool slightly.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the spinach. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the spinach wilts. Remove from heat and squeeze out any excess water using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Step 4

Mash the boiled potatoes in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Add the cooked spinach, minced garlic, nutritional yeast, chopped parsley, oat flour, ground flaxseed, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Step 5

Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the mixture and roll it into a ball using your hands. Place the ball on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mixture, spacing the balls evenly on the sheet.

Step 6

Lightly spray the top of the spinach and potato balls with olive oil spray for added crispiness (optional).

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the balls are golden brown and firm to the touch, flipping them halfway through baking for even browning.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the balls cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad.
