I wanted to prepare a light and delicious dinner for my kids without spending hours at the stove, so I came up with the idea of trying these easy and quick potato panzerotti.
The dough is made in a flash: simply boil the potatoes, mash them, and form discs to fill with ham and melting provolone. Then fold them into a half-moon, just like the classic Apulian panzerotti, but in this version, you don’t need yeast or oven. You can cook them in a pan with a drizzle of oil or in an air fryer for an even lighter and crispier version.

FAQ POTATO PANZEROTTI with ham and provolone
Can I prepare them in advance?
Yes, you can form the panzerotti and store them in the fridge for a few hours before cooking them.
Can they be frozen?
Absolutely yes! Freeze them raw and cook them directly without defrosting.
Can I replace the ham?
Of course, you can use speck, raw ham, or make them vegetarian with grilled vegetables and cheese.

Both cooking methods are excellent: the pan makes them more golden and soft, while the air fryer makes them crispier and lighter.
