Put the potatoes in a large pot, cover with salted water, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain.

In a bowl, combine flour, buttermilk, water, and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir with a fork; once the dough thickens, switch to kneading by hand. Knead for at least 10 minutes, using as much force as you can so rolling later takes less effort. Cover the dough and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

Peel the boiled potatoes and mash them in a bowl. Add mozzarella cheese and mix thoroughly. Add salt to taste if the mixture seems too bland. Divide the filling into 12 balls; set them on a plate or baking sheet and cover.
- 4
Divide the dough into 12 balls; these should be smaller than the filling balls. Place them on a plate or baking sheet and cover.
- 5
Stretch one dough ball into a small, flat circle. Set a filling ball in the center; pull the dough edges up and seal to enclose the filling in a dough ball. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
- 6
Heat a heavy-bottomed frying pan over medium heat without oil or grease. Keep the melted butter in a bowl nearby. Generously flour a work surface. Gently begin rolling out a dough ball; the dough will be stiff at first. Avoid pressing too hard with the rolling pin to prevent tears; roll into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.
- 7
Place the hychin in the hot pan. Fry until golden-brown spots form, about 2 minutes. Pierce with a knife to deflate if needed. Flip and cook the other side for about 2 minutes more. Brush generously with butter and move to a plate. Repeat with the remaining balls, stacking the cooked hychin on the plate.
- 8
Cut the entire stack of hychin into 8 slices like a pie.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
