Time taken: 10-15 min

About This Dish:
Mochi, mochi, mochi. My favourite word and food. I whipped this dish up for my father who was craving for an "otsumami" with his sake and beer. In the fridge, I had a potato, so I used that! It turned out to have a great texture, very mochi like. I put in some butter and cheese so the taste is something an adult or child will love. You can make a ton of it and freeze it for future use.

What You Need:
(For 6 mini jaga-mochis)
  • 1 medium to large potato
  • 2 tbsp of potato starch (I guess corn could work too?)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tbsp butter (or margarine)
  • Cheese (however much you like)

1. Wash and peel the potato. Put it in the microwave (for a couple min) or boil the potato until it gets cooked through enough to mash. Mash it while the potato is hot and add starch and salt.

4. You could saran wrap each mochi and freeze it up for future consumption (you can put it in the microwave for 1-2 min). Also, my father loved having this with ketchup.

2. Knead the mixture until it gets very smooth. If you have a hard time with this, add some water! After it becomes smooth, add the cheese and knead some more. Create little mochis and put it on a heated pan with butter.

3. Heat the jaga-mochis 2 min on each side (that should be enough) and 1 extra minute with the lid on the pan. Just make sure there is a golden crust on the outsides (trust me, it makes it much more tasty).
