Instructions

1. Wash the potatoes, peel them, cut them into pieces and cook them in salted water for about 20-30 minutes until they are soft, drain and rinse with cold water. Return to the saucepan and roughly mash with a potato masher.
2. In the meantime, pour boiling water over the spinach and blanch for 2 - 3 minutes, drain and drain well. If necessary pat dry with kitchen paper, then roughly chop with a sharp knife.
3. Put the mashed potatoes, chopped spinach and lor peynir in a bowl. Season to taste with nutmeg, salt and pepper and stir everything well.
4. Heat the oil in a pan. Using 2 tablespoons, form dumplings out of the potato mixture and fry in the pan. Alternatively, you can put the patties on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and bake them in a preheated oven at 200 ° C for about 15 minutes until they get color.
