🍽️ 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!
