Ingredients

• 3 medium potatoes
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• salt to taste
• 1 cup flour, or as needed
• mozzarella cheese
• a little oil and butter for frying the potato patties
• Also from Rana's potato recipes, here is Potatoes with Cheese in the Oven

Method

1. Peel the potatoes and boil them until well cooked
2. Mash the potatoes and set them aside to cool (do not knead while hot)
3. After the potatoes have cooled, add the sugar and salt and mix well
4. Begin adding the flour gradually, tablespoon by tablespoon, and knead until you have a dough easy to shape; stop adding flour when the dough reaches the desired consistency
5. Shape the potato balls, rubbing your hand with a little oil so they do not stick
6. Stuff the potato balls with cheese and seal them well
7. Put a little oil and butter in a nonstick pan (the butter gives a great flavor to the patties)
8. Place the potato patties in the pan and fry them on low heat until browned on both sides
