Description
Japanese sweet potatoes stuffed with melty cheese! Quick, easy and healthy– perfect as a snack or as side dish.
Ingredients
- 1 medium Japanese sweet potato, baked or cooked (net weight cooked without skin 280g)
- 2-3 tbsp (20-30 g) potato starch
- 3-4 tbsp (45-60 ml) milk
- 2/3-1 cup (70-90 g) shredded cheese (gouda, mozzarella, sharp white cheddar or cheddar cheese)
- 1 tbsp salted butter
Instructions
- Mash the sweet potato until mostly smooth. Add 2 tbsp potato starch and 3 tbsp milk. Adjust starch or milk as needed—the mixture should be easy to roll but not sticky or dry.
- Divide the mixture into 6 portions. Flatten each portion in your hand, place about 10-15 g of cheese in the center, and fold the sweet potato around the cheese to seal.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Melt the butter, then add the mochi. Cook until golden brown on one side (about 3 minutes), then flip and cook until golden on the other side (about 2 minutes).
- Serve with honey or maple syrup and a pinch of salt. Enjoy!
