Description
A warm and comforting dish featuring crispy golden-brown patties made from starchy potatoes and glutinous rice flour, encasing a soft and buttery interior.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups starchy potatoes (like Russets)
- 1 cup glutinous rice flour (or mochi flour)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped scallions
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or butter)
- Optional: dash of soy sauce, mushrooms or other vegetables
Instructions
- Peel and boil the potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool.
- Mash the potatoes until smooth and mix in the glutinous rice flour and salt, kneading until a dough forms.
- Divide the dough into small balls, then flatten them into patties.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Add soy sauce in the last minute of cooking and sprinkle scallions on top.
- Transfer mochi to a paper towel to absorb excess oil and serve hot, garnished with additional scallions and sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
Ensure the oil is hot before frying to achieve a crispy texture. Experiment with fillings to personalize your mochi.
