Potato Mochi

Potato Mochi

from ashbaber.com

A few days ago I found out that potato mochi was a thing. I did not know AND I LOVE MOCHI. It seemed very easy to make, so I decided to make them immediately...

Ingredients

  • 2-3 large potatoes, chopped and peeled (you want about 500g of potato, after being chopped and peeled)
  • 4 tablespoons potato starch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Plus some cheese (I used mozzarella, but use your favourite)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 4 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 20g unsalted butter

Directions

  1. 1

    Start by filling a pot with water, sprinkle a large pinch of salt into this, then place this on high heat. Let this come to a boil.

  2. 2

    Once your water comes to a boil, add the potatoes into this and boil them until fork tender.

  3. 3

    Once fork tender, drain them. Then add the potatoes into a bowl and mash them.

  4. 4

    Add the potato starch and salt into this, mix until combined.

  5. 5

    Divide this mixture into 6-8 pieces. The more pieces you have, the smaller your potato mochi will be, so keep this in mind.

  6. 6

    Get one piece of the potato mixture and flatten this in your hands. Add some cheese into the centre then form this into a circle, making sure the potato is fully covering the cheese.

  7. 7

    Keep repeating this until you've used all of the potato mixture.

  8. 8

    Get a large pan and place this onto medium heat. Add some oil into this and let this heat up.

  9. 9

    Add your potato mochi into this and cook until both sides are a golden brown colour.

  10. 10

    In a separate pan, add all the ingredients for the sauce.
