Potato Pancakes with Cheese (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Potato Mixture

01 - Whole potatoes (1 pound, skin on)
02 - Sweet condensed milk (1 tablespoon, if you want)
03 - Cornstarch (½ cup)
04 - White sugar (2 tablespoons)
05 - Salt (½ teaspoon)

→ Cheese Core

06 - Small mozzarella balls (8, or just grated mozzarella)
07 - Rich brown sugar (2 tablespoons)

→ For Finishing

08 - Oil for frying
09 - Toasted sesame seeds for topping (if you want)
10 - Butter or ketchup on the side

# Instructions:

01 - Cook unpeeled potatoes with lid on until soft when poked, roughly 25 minutes
02 - Take off potato skins after cooling and mash them up. Stir in the condensed milk, salt, and sugar
03 - Slowly add cornstarch until you get a nice, workable dough
04 - Split dough into 8 equal balls. Put sugar-covered cheese in the middle of each, wrap it up and press flat
05 - Fry with oil on medium for about 4 minutes each side until they're crispy and golden
06 - Let excess oil soak into paper towels, add sesame seeds if you like, and eat while they're warm

# Notes:

01 - You can mix cream and sugar instead of using condensed milk
02 - Try potato starch if you don't have cornstarch handy
03 - Wet potatoes need more cornstarch, dry ones need less
04 - Tasty when warm but don't burn your mouth
