Ingredients
8 large round potato slices
200 g shrimp paste (or chicken paste/fish paste)
150 g mozzarella cheese cubes
4 pineapple slices
1 cup crispy frying flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
¾ cup cold water
Oil for deep frying
Seasoning powder (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
Place one potato slice on a flat surface. Put a cube of mozzarella cheese in the center and surround it with shrimp paste.
Step 2: Add Pineapple
Place a pineapple slice over the cheese and add another layer of shrimp paste around the pineapple.
Step 3: Seal the Potato Bomb
Cover everything with another potato slice and gently press the edges to hold the filling together.
Step 4: Make the Batter
Mix crispy frying flour, cornstarch, and cold water until smooth and lump-free.
Step 5: Coat Evenly
Dip each stuffed potato into the batter, ensuring every side is completely coated.
Step 6: Deep Fry
Heat oil over medium heat. Carefully fry the coated potato bombs until the batter sets, flipping occasionally for even cooking.
Step 7: Make It Extra Crispy
Once they float, increase the heat and fry for another 1 minute until deep golden brown and crispy.
Step 8: Serve
Drain excess oil, sprinkle with seasoning powder if desired, and serve immediately while the cheese is hot and stretchy.
