Equipment

  • Nonstick Pan For frying

Ingredients

  • 2 pcs Large Potatoes
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Butter Optional
  • 2 tbsp Potato Starch
  • Mozzarella Cheese Shredded
  • Vegetable or Canola Oil For frying

Instructions

  • Peel the potatoes and chop them into equal sizes.
  • Boil the potatoes until it is fork tender, drain properly, and then place in a bowl. This will take about 15 minutes.
  • Mash the potatoes until it becomes crumbly, then season with salt and pepper.
  • Add butter and potato starch, then mix thoroughly until the potato mixture is homogenous and can be shaped.
  • Take a handful of the potato mixture, shape it into a ball, flatten it, then place mozzarella cheese in the middle.
  • Tuck the edges in to make a ball, seal the cracks, and make sure there is no cheese leaking.
  • Flatten it out to make a pancake, then set aside. Repeat the process until you run out of the potato mixture.
  • In a pan, put oil enough for shallow frying. Heat it, when it is hot enough, place the pancakes and fry until it is golden brown. This may take 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Cook until all your pancakes are beautifully golden brown, serve hot, and enjoy!
