Mash and season: Once cooked, drain the potato and mash it until smooth. Add pepper powder for a hint of spice, adjusting to taste. Set aside to cool.
Step 2: Prepare the Bread Slices
Flatten the bread: Take each slice of bread and gently flatten it with a rolling pin. This makes it easier to shape and seal the bread pockets.
Place filling on bread: Spoon a small amount of the potato mixture onto the center of each bread slice. Add a small piece or sprinkle of mozzarella cheese on top of the potato mixture.
Step 3: Shape the Bread Pockets
Fold and seal: Carefully fold each bread slice over the filling to form a triangle or rectangle. Press the edges firmly to seal, using a little water along the edges if needed to ensure the bread sticks together and keeps the filling inside.
Prepare the coating: Place the beaten egg in one bowl and the bread crumbs in another.
Step 4: Bread the Pockets
Dip in egg: Take each filled pocket and dip it into the beaten egg, making sure it’s evenly coated.
Coat with bread crumbs: Roll the egg-coated pocket in the bread crumbs, covering all sides evenly. This coating will create a crispy texture when fried.
