Lisogni

Lisogni is a traditional appetizer originating from Liguria, and it's a specialty of Bormida. These fried dumplings are usually made with a combination of potatoes, flour, milk, garlic, olive oil, and salt. The potatoes are peeled, boiled, passed through a food mill, and kneaded with the milk, flour, and salt. The firm dough is shaped into long loaves that are cut into many smaller pieces and flattened by hand. They're baked on both sides until golden and arranged on a platter while piping hot. The dumplings are covered with a heated mixture of olive oil and garlic, and lisogni are ready to be enjoyed. If desired, add some parsley or crumbled egg yolks for more flavor.
