Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 3 large potatoes about 500–600 grams, unpeeled
  • 4 tablespoons glutinous rice flour
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons powdered milk optional
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • Coating
  • 1 egg beaten
  • ¾ cup fine breadcrumbs

Optional Toppings

  • Mayonnaise
  • Ketchup
  • Hot sauce

For Frying

Instructions

  • Wash the potatoes thoroughly. Peel and cut them into small pieces.
  • Place the potatoes in a pot with enough water. Boil for about 15–20 minutes or until fork tender.
  • Drain the potatoes well. Mash until completely smooth.
  • Transfer the mashed potatoes into a bowl. Add the all-purpose flour, glutinous rice flour, powdered milk (if using), sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well, then knead until a soft dough forms.
  • Divide the dough into portions weighing about 50 grams each.
  • Flatten one portion. Place a cube of mozzarella cheese in the center. Seal completely and shape into a ball.
  • Flatten the ball slightly into a thick round patty.
  • Dip each potato patty into the beaten egg, then coat evenly with breadcrumbs.
  • Heat enough cooking oil over medium heat. Fry each piece until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
  • Drain on paper towels.
  • Top with mayonnaise, ketchup, or hot sauce if desired. Serve immediately while the cheese is still melted.
