Potato Donuts

Ingredients

• Half a kilo of potatoes, medium or small size
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• A pinch of salt
• A pinch of black pepper
• 1 large onion
• Mozzarella, kasshawan, or any suitable cheese (thin slices)
• For coating:
• 2 eggs with salt and black pepper
• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• Oil for frying

Method

1. First, boil the potatoes in salted water without peeling them. It is best to use small potatoes so they do not take long to cook, and the skin helps prevent them from absorbing too much water while boiling.
2. When the potatoes are cooked, peel them and mash them very smooth.
3. Let them cool slightly, then add the cornstarch, salt, and seasoning and mix well to get a smooth dough that is not too firm...
4. Cut the onion into rings or circles, and cut the cheese into slices the size of the onion rings.
5. Place a piece of cheese inside each onion ring, then cover it with the potato dough so it looks like a donut.
6. After finishing the batch, coat the potato donuts in flour, then dip them in the eggs (beaten with salt and a pinch of black pepper), and finally coat them in breadcrumbs.
7. Fry the potato donuts in plenty of hot oil over medium heat. You can also keep the pieces in the refrigerator until frying.
8. Remove them from the oil when they turn golden and place them on paper towels to absorb the excess oil.
9. Serve the potato donuts with ketchup.
