Potato Spinach Balls with Dijon Dipping Sauce

This easy vegan recipe is a winner. When I first went vegan this was a staple in our home, I would make them for us all the time. It's also a great recipe to make for guests. For some reason I kept thinking about this recipe, we hadn't had it in years, I pulled out the original hand written version from my old notebook and had to share.

With only 7 Ingredients they come together without much effort and are an easy way to sneak greens in. Dunk them in a 3 Ingredient Dijon Dipping Sauce and pop them in your mouth, again and again. You can enjoy these at a party, as a side or even as a meal. Plus it's plant-based, gluten-free, oil-free, high in iron, protein, carbs, potassium includes calcium and is low-fat. Watch how to make them in a new Artistic Vegan Show + see the recipe below. Enjoy!

7 Plantbased Ingredients (less water and opt: S&P)
3 Large Potatoes - Chopped in Chunks
1 Tbsp Basil - Chopped
2 Tbsp Parsley - Chopped
2 Tbsp Green Onions - Sliced
3 Cloves Garlic - Minced
2 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast
3 Packed Cups Fresh Spinach - Roughly Chopped
3 Tbsp Water or Vegetable Broth
Opt: S&P to taste

Peaceful Preparation:
  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F / 230° C (Gas Level 5).
  2. Cut potatoes into chunks, place in a pot, cover with water, add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil. Boil 6 minutes or until a knife can easily pierce, but not overly done.
  3. While the potatoes are coming to a boil, add 3 tbsp of water or vegetable broth to a pan, add the spinach and garlic. Cook for a few minutes over low heat until the spinach is soft. Set aside. 
  4. Drain the potatoes, add to a big bowl and mash, leaving some chunks. 
  5. Press or drain any extra water from the spinach, add the spinach and garlic to the potatoes, along with the chopped basil, parsley, green onions and nutrtional yeast. If using S&P add it here. Mix until well combined. 
  6. Once cool enough to handle, with wet hands take a heaping tbsp in your hand, squeeze it together, roll into a small ball about the size of a golf ball, place on a parchment lined baking sheet, sil mat or slighly greased baking sheet. Repeat until done. 
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden, going longer increases crispy exterior. They'll have a golden slightly crisp outside with a nice soft inside. 
​
3 Ingredient Dijon Dipping Sauce
1 Tbsp Seeded Dijon Mustard
1 Tbsp Regular Dijon Mustard
2 Tbsp Maple Syrup or Agave
Mix together, taste, adjust as desired (can even add hot sauce) and serve!

These are so delicious! The herbs, the flavors, the garlic, the potatoes, the nutritional yeast adds a little cheesy flavor, crispy exterior and moist interior.

Potato Spinach Balls = Bliss, I'm pretty sure of it. Enjoy!

Hey, just tried this recipe and they turned out great. Just wanted to ask, what yeast did you use? I used brewer's yeast and it tasted a bit bitter.. and mine looked way more cooked but I used electric oven at 230C (Im Aussie) maybe it was too hot. TIA

Hi Theresa,

Thanks for trying the recipe and commenting! So glad they turned out great. I used Nutritional Yeast (Here is an example: https://www.amazon.com/Natural-Non-fortified-Nutritional-Protein-Beta-glucans/dp/B00PJ3IPMI/) I do use a gas oven at high elevation in Mexico, it could make a difference.

Blessings!!

This will be a perfect side dish this weekend.
I have some mushrooms...think I'll chop them up and add them to this recipe.
I noticed you have a small stove......me too as I have a small kitchen 😊

Blessings Deb!
