About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 1 3/10 lb potatoes
- 2 tbsp butter
- 5 tbsp flour
- 2 1/10 oz mozzarella
- 1 1/10 oz chorizo
- 0.34 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- 1Peel the potatoes, then boil them in salted water until tender, about 10‑12 minutes; drain and mash them while still hot.
- 2Stir the melted butter and flour into the mashed potatoes, first with a fork and then by hand, until a smooth, cohesive dough forms; shape the dough into a large ball.
- 3Lay a sheet of cling film on a clean, flat surface and drizzle the olive oil over the film to prevent sticking.
- 4Place the potato dough ball on the cling film and gently press it outward with your hands to form a large, even circle about 1 cm thick.
- 5Scatter the mozzarella pieces and chopped chorizo evenly in the center of the potato circle.
- 6Gather the edges of the cling film and roll the potato circle around the filling, sealing all seams by pressing firmly to create a sealed ball.
- 7Preheat the air fryer to 464°F (475°F). Place the sealed potato ball in the basket and air‑fry for 7–8 minutes on each side, turning once with a spatula, until the exterior is golden and crisp.
- 8Remove the ball, let it rest for a minute, then cut into wedges with a knife and fork and serve hot.
