Potato Mochi Potato Mochi
I had these potato mochi at a friend's house, and tried to replicate them and came up with this recipe. I based this on the popular method using katakuriko.Although it is time consuming, the texture of the potato is best when strained through a sieve. Add milk until it reaches a cream-like consistency, then add just enough katakuriko to make them firm enough to shape into balls. If you use tapioca powder instead, they will become even springy and chewier. Recipe by MsX cookpad.japan -
