Deep Fried Potato Dumplings! Deep Fried Potato Dumplings!
The other day I visited the Abashiri Prison Museum and had imo-dango (potato dumplings) for the first time! They were so delicious! So I tried making my own! But, they weren't as dense and sticky as I liked! So I changed the formula and tried again! This time they were a big success!I tried making this before and it didn't go well, but then I heard that you should add 1/3 of the total amount of the potatoes in katakuriko potato starch flour, so I tried again! The key is to add the katakuriko potato starch flour when the potatoes are cool! And to knead the dough well! And don't let it burn either!You can add a little sugar and salt to pre-flavor the dough before deep frying the dumplings! It's up to you! Recipe by Memei

For about 15 dumplings. Recipe by milktime -
