Boil 5-6 medium potatoes until tender.

Whip the boiled potatoes with 1/2 cup olive oil until they resemble a dough.

Add 2 eggs and mix well.

Add 1/4 teaspoon baking powder and a pinch of salt; mix again.

Add 1 cup of flour and then an additional 1/4 cup of flour to achieve a soft dough.

Use flour on hands to scoop a spoonful of dough and wrap it around a fresh plum, forming a ball.

Place the formed plum balls on a floured baking sheet to prevent sticking.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and drop in the plum balls.

Cook until they float, about 1-2 minutes, then let them cook for an additional 30-40 seconds.

In a separate pan, heat 1/2 cup olive oil and add 2 cups of almond flour, stirring until golden brown.

Add 1 cup of brown sugar and mix well with the almond flour.

Roll the cooked plum balls in the almond flour mixture and serve.
