1. 1

   Prick the potato and microwave for 7-9 minutes until completely soft. Cool for 5 minutes, then scoop out the flesh and mash it.

2. 2

   Mix the mash with the grated cheese, 2 tablespoons flour, salt, and pepper. Roll into walnut-size balls.

3. 3

   Whisk 50 g of the flour with a pinch of salt and about 90 ml ice-cold water into a smooth batter that coats the back of a spoon. Dust the balls in the remaining flour, then dip them in the batter.

   Lift out with a slotted spoon, drain on kitchen paper, and season. Let the oil cool completely before storing or disposing of it safely.
