I was chosen to be a cooking monitor.
The theme was "Spring Potluck Recipes to Enjoy with Kirin Free Beer." So I made these snacks that resemble sakura mochi to match the theme.
This is another version: "Butter Fried Potatoes with Shrimp".

Microwave the potatoes in the microwave for about 4 minutes.
If you pan-fry the potatoes for too long and they brown too much, they won't give a pretty pink color, so be patient and fry them on low heat. After pan-frying, heating them in the microwave will make them sticky. Recipe by mama deko

Steps

1

Peel the potatoes and cut into four pieces each. Wrap in plastic wrap and heat in the microwave. Mash them while they're still hot. (I used a tupperware made for parboiling)
2

Use a mortar or similar utensil to finely grind the dried sakura shrimp. Add the sakura shrimp and katakuriko to the potatoes and mix together well. Season with a generous amount of salt and pepper.
3

Divide into 6 equal portions and wrap each between 2 pieces of boiled shrimp. Shape them neatly.
4

Put a generous amount of oil into a frying pan and pan-fry the potato balls. Slowly cook over low heat.
5

When both sides have become lightly browned, remove from the frying pan and heat in the microwave for 1 minute. (They'll become quite sticky.) Wrap each in a shiso leaf and they're all done.
