1 potato, boiled,
100 g ricotta,

Zubereitung
STEP 1
Clean the zucchini flowers by taking out the inner stem. Peel and mash the boiled potato. Mix the potato, cottage cheese, Grana Padano PDO, a little salt, pepper and nutmeg. Stuff the flowers with the mixture, using a pastry bag.
STEP 2
Stir the flour into the ice water for a few minutes with a pinch of salt, avoiding making the batter too sticky. Coat the stuffed flowers in the batter and drain them.
STEP 3
Fry in hot oil for 3-4 minutes. Drain and dry them on kitchen paper. Season with salt and serve immediately.
