🥔 Ingredients You’ll Need:
-
3 medium potatoes (about 600 g)
-
Salt, to taste
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
100 g finely grated mozzarella cheese
-
Hot peppers to taste (or substitute with a pinch of chili powder or flakes)

7 tablespoons potato starch
(Cornstarch can be used as a substitute) -

🔪 Instructions: Step-by-Step
1. Prep the Potatoes
Start by peeling your potatoes, then cut them into medium-sized chunks. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and add a generous pinch of salt. Boil the potatoes until they are completely soft—you want them to break apart easily with a fork. This step is key for smooth, creamy insides!
2. Drain and Mash
Once the potatoes are cooked through, drain them very well. You want to remove as much moisture as possible to help them crisp up later. Transfer them to a large mixing bowl and mash them thoroughly until no lumps remain.
