# What you need:
→ For the Dumplings
01 - 14 oz russet potatoes, peeled and chopped
02 - ½ cup potato starch or cornstarch
03 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
04 - ½ teaspoon salt
05 - 3 oz mozzarella cheese, cut into 8 cubes
→ For the Soy-Honey Glaze
06 - 2 tablespoons soy sauce
07 - 1½ tablespoons honey
08 - 1 tablespoon mirin
09 - 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
→ For Frying
10 - 1 tablespoon neutral oil such as canola or vegetable oil
# How to Make It:
01 - Place peeled and chopped potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, approximately 12 to 15 minutes.
02 - Drain potatoes thoroughly and mash until smooth. While still warm, incorporate butter and salt, mixing well to combine.
03 - Add potato starch to the mashed potatoes and knead until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Add additional starch if the dough remains too sticky.
04 - Divide dough into 8 equal portions. Flatten each piece into a disc, place a cheese cube in the center, and wrap dough around to seal, forming a ball.
05 - Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add dumplings and cook, turning occasionally, until all sides achieve golden brown color, approximately 6 to 8 minutes.
06 - In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, mirin, and rice vinegar. Pour glaze into the skillet with dumplings. Toss gently to coat and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the dumplings evenly.
07 - Transfer dumplings to serving plates while warm. Optionally garnish with sliced scallions or toasted sesame seeds.
