Directions

  1. Peel the potatoes and boil them in a pot of water for 20-30 minutes until tender.

  2. While still hot, mash the boiled potatoes thoroughly until smooth. Add the potato starch and salt, then mix everything well for 4-5 minutes until a dough forms.

  3. Take a small portion of the potato dough and shape it into a ball. Gently press your thumb into the center to create a small hole, then add a piece of mozzarella cheese. Close the hole and reshape it into a smooth ball.

  4. Heat a little oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the potato balls until golden brown on one side, then flip and cook the other side until equally golden brown.
