Ingredients
  

  • 5-6 medium potatoes peeled
  • 1 egg
  • 200 grams cheese mozzarella, cheddar, or mixed; grated
  • 1 pinch parsley fresh or dried
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon yeast
  • 1 1/2-2 cups all-purpose flour add gradually
  • 100 grams butter for cooking

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Pot

Method
 

  1. Peel and boil the potatoes in salted water until fork-tender. Drain well and mash until completely smooth. Allow them to cool fully before proceeding.
  2. To the cooled mashed potatoes, add the egg, grated cheese, parsley, salt, and yeast. Mix until combined.
  3. Gradually add flour, mixing until a soft, non-sticky dough forms. The dough should be smooth and pliable, similar to play-dough consistency.
  4. Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each into a ball. Flatten each ball into a round disc, keeping them moderately thick.
  5. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook each flattened dough round until golden brown on one side, then flip and cook the other side until crisp and fully cooked through.
  6. Repeat with remaining dough pieces. Serve warm for the best cheesy texture and flavor.

Notes

Use a good melting cheese for the best texture. Allow potatoes to cool before adding the egg to prevent scrambling. Cook over medium heat to ensure a golden crust without burning. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze with parchment between layers.
