Instructions

  1. 1 Make filling: Place spinach in a skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain, squeeze dry, and chop finely.
  2. 2 Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook onion in hot butter until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add chopped spinach; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Transfer mixture to a bowl to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
  3. 3 Stir ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs, nutmeg, salt, and pepper into cooled spinach mixture until well combined. Set filling aside.
  4. 4 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  5. 5 Make pie: Grease a 9-inch pie dish or tart pan with melted butter. Unwrap phyllo dough. Keep sheets covered with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.
  6. 6 Lay 1 sheet of phyllo over the prepared dish flush with the edge, so excess phyllo hangs over only one side. Press sheet gently into the dish and brush lightly with melted butter. Top with another sheet of phyllo at a slight angle to the first one. Continue in this manner with up to 12 sheets, brushing each with butter and working clockwise, laying each at a slight angle to the previous sheet.
  7. 7 Spoon filling evenly into the phyllo-lined dish. Using the back of a spoon, make 6 indentations in filling, then carefully place 1 egg yolk in each. Season each yolk with salt and pepper and drizzle with a bit of melted butter.
  8. 8 Fold overhanging phyllo dough, one sheet at a time, into the center to cover filling, brushing each with butter. Brush the top of pie with butter.
  9. 9 Bake in the preheated oven until phyllo is dark golden brown, about 40 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly before slicing.

  1. 1 Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain potatoes; mash in the bottom of the pot until no lumps remain.
  2. 2 Place the pot over low heat. Stir butter into mashed potatoes; cook, stirring constantly, until butter is melted and potatoes are no longer moist. Spread potatoes into the bottom of a wide bowl; refrigerate until completely cooled, at least 30 minutes.
  3. 3 Beat egg yolks into cooled potatoes; season with white pepper and salt. Stir in Cheddar cheese and diced onion. Shape potato mixture into tennis ball-sized balls; place in a baking dish and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 1 hour.
  4. 4 Beat eggs and water together in a bowl. Place flour and bread crumbs into 2 separate wide, shallow bowls.
  5. 5 Gently roll 1 potato ball in flour to coat; shake off excess. Dip into beaten egg, turning to coat; lift up so excess egg drips back into the bowl. Press into bread crumbs, turning until coated on all sides. Gently toss coated ball between your hands so any loose bread crumbs fall off. Place onto a plate while repeating with remaining potato balls; do not stack.
  6. 6 Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  7. 7 Carefully add potato balls, in batches, to hot oil; deep-fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate. Add more oil as needed between batches; heating to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) before continuing to fry.
