📖 The Story Behind This Dish

A creative dish recreating the chewiness of Brazil's cheese bread, pão de queijo, with Japanese potato starch and potatoes instead of cassava flour. Borrowing the method of Japanese imo mochi, simply pan-frying gives a crisp outside and chewy inside. Ingredients are kept to a minimum so it can be made with things you're likely to have at home.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a rainy afternoon, a parent and child roll potato dough into balls, cook them rolling in a frying pan, and bite into hot cheese balls.

🥕 Ingredients (serves 2)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Microwave the potatoes 5 minutes, peel, and mash while hot.

  2. Add the potato starch, salt, and cheese and mix well.

  3. Roll into balls about 3cm across.

  4. Heat oil in a frying pan and cook 5–6 minutes over medium heat, rolling them.

  5. They're done when crisp and golden.
