Potato mochi is a Japanese snack made from a combination of mashed potatoes and glutinous rice flour. It has a soft and chewy texture similar to traditional mochi, which is made with sweet rice flour.

To make potato mochi, cooked and mashed potatoes are mixed with glutinous rice flour and sweetener, such as sugar or honey. The mixture is then kneaded until it becomes smooth and pliable. Small portions of the mixture are shaped into balls or other desired shapes and can be rolled in additional toppings such as sesame seeds, kinako (toasted soybean flour), or powdered sugar.

Potato mochi can be eaten as a snack or a dessert and is often enjoyed with green tea. It is a popular food during the New Year's holiday in Japan and is sometimes served with a sweet bean paste filling.

Potato mochi is a gluten-free alternative to traditional mochi, and it can be a healthy snack when made with natural sweeteners and without added fats. However, it's important to consume potato mochi in moderation as it is high in carbohydrates and calories.
