Cooking Instructions
1. Boil the 3 potatoes whole, with the skins on, in slightly salty water until soft (easily penetrated with a fork).
2. Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
3. Once slightly cooled, use a potato ricer or press tool to mash the potatoes directly into a bowl.
4. To the mashed potatoes, add the 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of starch, 2 whole eggs plus the remaining egg white, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
5. Use a silicone spatula to mix all the ingredients thoroughly.
6. Allow the mixture to rest and firm up for 20 minutes.
7. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
8. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
9. If the dough is too soft to form balls, simply drop 10 mounds or lumps of dough onto the parchment paper.
10. In a small bowl, beat the reserved egg yolk.
11. Using a kitchen brush, spread the egg wash evenly over each lump.
12. Sprinkle the tops with white and black sesame seeds.
13. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the buns are puffed and golden-brown.
14. Enjoy these warm potato buns with your meal!
- Don't worry about perfectly shaped buns; the rustic method still yields delicious results.
- These buns are surprisingly filling; limit consumption to 3 buns per meal as a nutritional tip.
- Potatoes are high in carbohydrates, so this dish will have a high glycemic index.
