Start by peeling the potatoes and then placing them in a pot of boiling water. Cook them until they are tender and you can easily pierce them with a fork. Drain them and let them cool slightly before continuing.
Step 2: Mixing the ingredients
In a large bowl, mash the boiled potatoes until smooth and lump-free. Add salt, pepper, potato starch and mayonnaise. Mix everything very well until all the ingredients are completely integrated.

Divide the mixture into portions and form small balls. Flatten each ball to form a thin pancake. In the center of each pancake, place a portion of mozzarella or curd cheese, depending on your preference.
