Potato Tortelli are a typical dish from the Emilia-Romagna region, particularly widespread in the province of Modena. These delicious homemade tortelli are filled with potatoes, Parmigiano cheese, and seasoned with melted butter and nutmeg. Their crescent shape and soft texture make them irresistible.
Boil the potatoes in salted water, peel them and mash them
Place them in a bowl, let them cool slightly and add the eggs, butter, Parmigiano, salt, and nutmeg
Meanwhile, prepare the pasta by mixing the two flours on a work surface, make a well where you will add the eggs
Knead well until the dough is homogeneous, smooth, and elastic
Let it rest covered with a damp cloth for about half an hour
Now add to the mashed potatoes the butter, Parmigiano, salt, and a generous grating of nutmeg
Mix the ingredients well
Roll out the pasta dough into strips, cut them into squares on which to place the potato mixture, helping yourself by making small balls with your hands
Close the squares by matching the corners to form triangles and seal the edges with a fork
Boil the tortelli in salted boiling water, drain them and dress with ragù or with oil or butter and plenty of Parmigiano
