Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium yellow potatoes 450 g, 1 lb, cut into chunks
  • 1 tbsp un-salted butter
  • 1 tbsp salt for boiling water
  • 12 sheets rice paper small, 16 cm, 6 in
  • 1 slice mozzarella cheese divided into 4 rectangles

Instructions
 

  • To a medium pot, bring water to a boil, and add the salt. Slide the potato chunks into the water and let it cook for 15 mins.
  • Drain and mash the potatoes with a fork or push the potatoes through a metal strainer to make them extra smooth. Add butter and mix until well incorporated.
  • Dip a sheet of rice paper into a bowl of room-temp water for 10 seconds. Place the wet rice paper sheet onto a clean, dry surface.
  • Place a small piece of the cheese slice into the centre of the rice paper.
  • Scoop up 1/4 cup of mashed potatoes, layering it on top of the cheese. Mould the mashed potato into a flat rectangular shape.
  • Bring the bottom portion of the rice paper up, top portion down, right to left, left to right, until you have a tightly wrapped rice paper potato dumpling.
  • Repeat steps 3 and 6, two more times until you have a total of 3 layers of rice paper wrapped around the mashed potatoes.
  • To a non-stick pan on medium-high heat, add in enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
  • Once the oil is heated up, slide the dumplings in, and let each dumpling cook for 30 seconds on each side.
  • Transfer to a wire rack to cool (Note 1).
  • Serve immediately with a side of warm gravy for dipping.
