Step-by-Step Instructions

Start by peeling and cutting the medium potato into large chunks. Steam for 10-15 minutes until fork-tender, then cool and mash.
In a bowl, combine steamed potato with rice flour, sugar, and salt. Mash together until smooth to form the dough.
Divide dough into portions, roll into balls, and flatten. Place mozzarella cheese in each disk, fold, and seal.
Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Reduce to medium-low for even cooking.
Pan-fry the disks for 10-12 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
Remove from the pan, place on paper towel, and serve warm, optionally with honey or kimchi.
