Method

  1. 1 Boil potatoes with their skins on for 25 minutes, then peel and mash them while still hot.
  2. 2 Let the potatoes cool completely for 30 minutes, then mix in the pepper and green onions. The potatoes will be hot and runny when rolled in flour.
  3. 3 Roll the mixture into balls, then press a piece of mozzarella into the center and wrap it tightly.
  4. 4 Roll the dough in flour, then egg, and finally breadcrumbs, pressing firmly to coat it completely.
  5. 5 Deep-fry at 175 degrees for 4 minutes until golden brown, then dip in mayonnaise; the cheese inside should stretch when sliced.
