Ingredients:
- 1 bunch curly kale, stemmed and chopped (came to around 10 oz chopped)

- 2 medium potatoes, boiled, peeled and mashed up
- 1 cup grated Parmesan or Gruyere cheese
- 1 1/2 cups Panko bread crumbs
- 3 Tbsp powdered flax seed
- Salt & pepper to taste
Method:
- Preheat oven to 375C
- Process the chopped kale in a food processor and add to a large bowl
- Steam the spinach for 5 mins with about a tablespoon of water until wilted. Cool. Then process in a food processor and add to the bowl with the kale
- Mix in the mashed potato, grated cheese and 1 cup of bread crumbs. (Save the remaining bread crumbs to coat)
- Mix the powdered flax seed with about 8 Tbsp of water. Set aside for 10 mins to thicken. Then add to the bowl.
- Add salt and pepper to taste and mix all the ingredients in the bowl well.
- Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper
- Form small ping pong ball-sized balls with the mixture and roll well in the remaining panko bread crumbs to coat. Flatten in to hockey puck shapes and place on the cookie sheet
- Bake for 30-40 minutes until golden brown on both sides, turning them over once in the middle
- Serve warm and crisp right out of the oven with a hot sauce or ketchup
This recipe makes around 20 balls, enough for a party of around 6 people. Serve warm or cold with a hot sauce.
