Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Boil the Potatoes
Peel and cut the potatoes into small chunks. Place them in a pot of boiling water and cook until tender, about .
Step 2: Mash the Potatoes
Drain the boiled potatoes and transfer them to a large bowl. Mash them thoroughly with a fork until smooth.
Step 3: Season the Potato Mixture
Add 1/4 cup of cornstarch, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp paprika, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder to the mashed potatoes. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined and form a cohesive dough.
Step 4: Form the Pancakes
Take a small portion of the potato dough and flatten it in your palm. Place a small cube or slice of mozzarella cheese in the center. Carefully seal the potato dough around the cheese, shaping it into a round, flat pancake.
Step 5: Pan-Fry the Pancakes
Heat 3 tablespoons of cooking oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Place the potato pancakes in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 6: Serve
Remove the cooked potato pancakes from the pan and place them on a serving plate. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup.
