  • 200 g Mozzarella shredded or cubed

  • 2 tbsp Cooking Oil for frying

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water over medium heat. Once boiling, add your potato chunks and cook for about 15 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork.
  2. Drain the water and let the potatoes cool slightly before mashing them until smooth, ensuring a creamy texture.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm mashed potatoes with a sprinkle of sugar and a bit of cornstarch. Mix thoroughly until everything is well blended.
  4. Take about 90 grams of the potato mixture and flatten it into a disc shape. Place mozzarella cheese in the center and encase it with the potato mixture.
  5. Heat cooking oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the formed pancakes in the skillet and fry for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Once fried, remove the pancakes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Let them cool slightly before serving.
  7. Serve your crispy pancakes with a dipping sauce of your choice.
