Ingredients- 3-4 medium potatoes
- 1 cup pizza cheese
- 1 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1/2 Tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp potato starch
- A little butter (for frying)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Adjust the number of potatoes based on their size; 3-4 medium potatoes are a good starting point for this recipe.
Step 2
Peel the potatoes and cut them into uniform cubes, about 1.5-2 cm in size. This ensures they cook evenly and mash smoothly.
Step 3
Bring a pot of water to a boil, adding a pinch of salt (about 1/2 tsp). Add the cubed potatoes and cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 4
Drain the cooked potatoes thoroughly and place them in a large bowl. Add the potato starch, sugar, salt, and mayonnaise to the bowl.
Step 5
Using a spatula or fork, mash the potatoes until they are smooth and well combined with the other ingredients. Aim for a consistency that is fluffy yet moist.
Step 6
Divide the potato mixture into portions. Flatten each portion into a disc shape, place about 1 tablespoon of pizza cheese in the center, and then carefully fold the edges of the dough over to enclose the cheese, forming a round ball.
Step 7
Using about 4 potatoes, you should be able to make approximately 5 hotteok. Shaping them to a moderate size helps ensure they cook through evenly and maintain a pleasant appearance.
Step 8
Melt a small amount of butter (about 1/2 tsp) in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Place the shaped hotteok in the pan and cook, flipping occasionally, until both sides are golden brown and crispy. Ensure the cheese inside is fully melted.
Step 9
These Potato Cheese Hotteok are delicious on their own. For an extra flavor boost, try serving them with ketchup or Greek yogurt. A drizzle of honey or syrup also complements the savory cheese filling beautifully.
