👩🍳 Instructions
- 1 Peel the potatoes, cut into cubes, then steam or boil until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash while still warm using a fork or ricer until smooth with no lumps.
- 2 Mix the mashed potatoes with the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chopped green onion. Stir until well combined and the dough can be shaped without sticking to your hands.
- 3 Take one tablespoon of the potato dough, flatten it in the palm of your hand, place a mix of cheddar and mozzarella cheese in the center, then roll it up and shape it into a small oval roll until the cheese is completely sealed inside.
- 4 Beat the egg in a small bowl. Roll each potato roll in the beaten egg, then roll again in the bread crumbs until evenly coated on all sides.
- 5 Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F) for 10 minutes. Arrange the potato rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each roll so they cook evenly.
- 6 Brush the surface of each roll with a little oil using a pastry brush; this helps the bread crumbs turn golden and crispy without needing to fry them.
- 7 Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping once halfway through cooking, until the surface is evenly golden and crispy.
- 8 Remove from the oven and let cool briefly on a wire rack for 5 minutes before packing into a lunchbox, so they don't get soggy from the steam.
💡 Tips
• Make sure the potatoes are really dry after steaming so the dough isn't too soft; you can let them air out for a bit before mashing.
• For an extra-crispy texture and even golden color, spritz the surface with a little oil using a spray bottle before baking.
• The dough can be shaped the night before and stored tightly covered in the fridge, then just baked the next morning to save time.
• If your kids like other fillings, try swapping the cheese for shredded chicken or finely chopped sausage for a flavor variation.
