🍽️ 3 pancakes

🌽Ingredients

  • 120g sweetcorn

  • 200g potatoes

  • 35g plain flour

  • 12g cornstarch

  • 100g shredded mozzarela

  • Seasoning: paprika, salt, chilli, cumin.

  • Olive/vegetable oil to cook

🌽Method

  • Peel and cut the potatoes in cubes. Boil in a pot with water for 18-20min until they become tender and you can easily pierce them with a fork. Drain the water and transfer to a bowl to mash them with a fork or potato masher

  • Add the flour, cornstarch and seasoning and mix well with the potatoes. Then add the sweetcorn and mix well until obtaining a homogeneous bawl

  • Roll around 1/4 cup of dough into a ball, flatten it with your palms, and place 1 tbsp of cheese in the centre (compact the cheese into a 1 tbsp measuring spoon so it’s easier to wrap in the dough). Gradually squeeze the dough around the cheese making a sphere. Flatten the ball with your palms, and round the edges to make a circular shape.

  • Add olive/vegetable oil to a frying pan until the entire pan gets coated, bring to medium heat, and shallow fry the pancakes for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Transfer to some kitchen paper to remove excess oil. Serve and enjoy while hot!
