- 2 lbs gold potatoes peeled
- ⅔ cup potato starch (or corn starch)
- salt to taste
- 4 oz fontina cheese cubed small (or mozzarella)
- olive oil
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Slice the peeled potatoes into small chunks. Once the water is boiling add in the taters and salt the water with 1 teaspoon salt. Bring back to a boil and then set your timer for about 10 minutes or until your potatoes are tender and mashable.
Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl and use a fork to mash them mostly smooth. Add in the potato starch and salt and pepper. Combine using your clean hands, to 'push' the starch into the potatoes, until a smooth dough forms.
Form about ¼ cup size balls and flatten them out as best you can. Add 2-3 small cubes of your cheese to the center and close them up. Now, gently flatten this out into a disc. Repeat.
Add a drizzle of olive oil to your pan and heat on medium high. Add in the potato cakes and cook about 3-4 minutes per side. Lower heat if they start cook too quickly. Enjoy!
