🍽️ 2 portions
Ingredients
250g grated potato
1 egg
60g shredded mozzarella cheese
Optional seasoning: 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp thyme, 1/2 tsp oregano
Method
Preheat your oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Grate the potato into a bowl, then use a cheesecloth, clean towel, or sieve to squeeze out as much excess water as possible. This step is essential for firm, crispy buns.
Transfer the drained potato to a bowl and add the egg, shredded mozzarella, and optional seasoning. Mix well until fully combined.
Divide the mixture into 2 portions on the lined baking tray. Use the back of a spoon to shape and flatten each portion into a round bun shape.
Bake for 16–20 minutes, or until the buns are set and slightly golden.
Allow to cool slightly before serving.
