## Ingredients

- 600 g Potato
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- Pepper
- 2 Tbsp Parmesan cheese
- 2 tsp Chili (red pepper) powder
- 6 Tbsp Potato starch
- Parsley
- Cooking oil
- Mozzarella cheese

## Instructions

1. Cut out the bottom of the potato to make it flat. You can peel the potato skin.
2. Put the potatoes in water for a while to remove starch, or wash several times with cold water to make it faster. Keep the potatoes wet.
3. Add 1/2 tsp of salt, pepper, 2 Tbsp parmesan cheese (optional), 2 tsp of chili (red pepper) powder, and 6 Tbsp of potato starch to the potatoes and apply evenly.
4. Do not turn on the heat yet. Add cooking oil to the pan.
5. Spread the potato mixture on the pan.
6. Turn on medium heat. When you hear the cooking oil sizzle, close the lid and reduce the heat to low.
7. Wipe off the moisture on the lid to cook it crispy.
8. Cook for 5-7 minutes. Poke with a toothpick to check if it is cooked.
9. Apply a little cooking oil just before turning it over.
10. Change to medium-low or medium heat and cook until crispy.
11. Add mozzarella cheese to one side of the potato pancake.
12. Cover it with another potato pancake.
13. Melt the mozzarella cheese.
14. Cut the potato pancake into smaller sizes.

## Equipment

- pan
- lid
- toothpick

## Tips

- To make it crispy, heat control is important: turn on medium heat, then reduce to low heat as soon as the cooking oil sizzles.
- Wipe off moisture on the lid to cook it crispy.
- You can use corn starch or flour if potato starch is unavailable.
- If the starch, salt, and pepper don't stick well to the potatoes, let them sit for a while; water will come out of the potatoes and help the mixture stick.
- You can add other ingredients between potato pancakes.
