Boil potatoes until soft, then mash them while still warm.
Add egg, parsley, cornstarch, garlic powder, pepper, salt, and butter. Mix well.
Take a small portion of the potato mixture and flatten it in your hand.
Place a small amount of mozzarella in the center.
Close and shape into a round patty, sealing the cheese completely.

Tips
(Space between lines)
• Make sure potatoes are fully cooled before adding cheese to avoid melting while shaping.
• If the mixture is too soft, add more flour or cornstarch.
• Seal the patties well so cheese doesn’t leak.
• Fry on medium heat — high heat burns the outside before inside heats.
• Serve immediately for best cheese stretch.
