When I was growing up my mom would plant potatoes and my friends and I would dig for them when the harvesting season came. Then my mom would turn them into potato mochi snacks like these.

Directions
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add potatoes and boil until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Drain and cool. Once cool enough to handle, squeeze the potato flesh out of the skins – this is an easy way to peel potatoes.
Put the potato flesh through a ricer into a bowl. Add the mochiko, all-purpose flour and salt and mix to combine. Take some of the potato mixture and roll it into a ball about the size of a golf ball. Flatten it into a disk. Stuff the disk with one mozzarella cube and mold it so the cheese is encased inside the potato disk. Continue until all the potato mixture and cheese is used up.
Preheat a large cast-iron pan until it is ripping hot. Add the oil and pan-sear the mochi on each side until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan. Add the butter to the pan and cook until the butter browns, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the mochi back to the pan along with the teriyaki sauce and soy sauce. Cook for another couple of minutes, basting the mochi with the sauce.
Place the mochi on a platter, pour butter mixture left in the pan over and garnish with scallions.
