Whenever I have potatoes at home, I never skip this recipe. It’s quick, simple, and unbelievably delicious — made with just a few ingredients and ready in no time. Perfect for a quick snack or a light meal, this cheesy potato treat is golden and crispy on the outside, with a melty, savory center. Let’s get started!

🥔 Ingredients (for one large serving):

1 large boiled potato

1 tablespoon melted butter

2 tablespoons flour

Salt, to taste

100 g (about 3.5 oz) shredded cheese (any meltable kind – mozzarella, cheddar, etc.)

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:

Place the boiled potato in a bowl and mash it well using a fork or potato masher.

Add the melted butter and flour, then season with salt to taste.

Mix and knead until you get a smooth, soft dough. If the dough feels too sticky, sprinkle in a bit more flour until it becomes easy to handle.

2. Form the Filling Pocket:

Take a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper and lightly grease it with a little oil or butter.

Flatten the potato dough onto the wrap using your hands, forming a thin square.

Place the shredded cheese right in the center of the square.

3. Shape the Pocket:

Using the edges of the plastic wrap or parchment, lift and fold the dough from all four corners to enclose the cheese inside.

Gently shape it into a square or cube, making sure the cheese is completely sealed within the dough.

4. Fry to Perfection:

Heat some oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Carefully place the stuffed potato pocket into the hot oil.

Fry it on all sides until beautifully golden and crispy, flipping as needed to ensure even cooking.

🍽️ Serve and Enjoy:

Remove from the pan and place it on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

Serve hot to enjoy the gooey, melted cheese inside — it’s absolutely irresistible!

This dish is incredibly simple, quick, and satisfying. With just one potato and a handful of ingredients, you can whip up a crispy, cheesy delight that’s perfect for any time of day.

Enjoy your meal!
