Snacks I made for my friends when we reunited to watch the S2 of the live action. It was a silly experiment but was a huge success, so I'm sharing the full recipe below the cut for anyone who'd like to try them :D
15 pieces in total | for 3ā4 people
Ingredients
ā¢ 4 medium potatoes
ā¢ 4ā5 tablespoons cornstarch
ā¢ Salt, black pepper to taste
ā¢ 3 large sausages
ā¢ 80ā100g melting cheese (I used mozzarella)
ā¢ Oil (for brushing)
ā¢ Ketchup or red bell pepper (for the hat ribbon, I personally hate pepper but this combination was very tasty. plus, it won't be messy like ketchup)
1. Cook the potatoes
Peel the potatoes, cut them into medium slices (3 cm) and boil them in salted water for 10ā15 minutes until theyāre soft. They're ready when a fork goes in easily.
Drain them and, while still hot, mash the potatoes (I used a fork, but be careful because they're super hot). Don't add extra water, less moisture will give you a better dough š
2. Make the potato dough
Add salt, 4 tablespoons of cornstarch and black pepper (optional, I ended up skipping it). Taste it until you find the right flavor.
Mix until a soft dough forms, it should be soft but not very sticky, only a little. If it still sticks to your hands, add Ā½ā1 tablespoon more of cornstarch.
If it's still very hot, let the dough cool for 5ā10 minutes before shaping.
3. Prepare the filling
Slice the sausages into thick slices. That will shape the round part of the strawhat where the head goes.
Cut the cheese into small cubes or short strips. (I recommend using a small amount of cheese per piece so it doesnāt leak while baking).
4. Shape the strawhats
Take two small balls of potato dough, one slightly bigger than the other, and flatten it into a disc.
In the center, place one sausage slice and sprinkle it with small pieces of cheese (or if you cut slices, place the cheese first and then the sausage).
Cover it with the smaller disc and shape the rounded top of the hat.
Lightly press a ring around the center with your fingers to create the separation between the brim and the crown of the hat.
If you're using red bell pepper for the red ribbon, cut thin strips and press a little until they adhere to the dough.
Then, with a knife, press gently on the dough to make the strawhat details.
5. Baking
Set the oven to 200 Ā°C / 400 Ā°F. Preheat for 10ā15 minutes.
Place the hats on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or lightly oiled. Brush or spray the hats with oil.
Bake 15 minutes, then rotate the tray (I guess it depends on the oven, mine doesn't bake evenly). And bake 10ā15 minutes more until you can see they're lightly golden and firm.
If you chose ketchup for the red ribbon, wait for them to cool down a little and then draw the ribbon.
And that's it! Enjoy!
