Ingredients (Makes about 24 cookies)

1 medium potato (about 150g)

100g dark chocolate (70% cocoa)

1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour

1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar

1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, softened

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons cocoa powder (optional, for extra chocolate flavor)

Instructions

Prepare the Potato and Chocolate: Secure the Geedel Rotary Cheese Grater to your countertop with its stable suction base. Use the food pusher to safely slice the potato into thin, uniform pieces—perfect for mashing into the dough. Grind the dark chocolate into fine shavings. Set both aside in a large mixing bowl.

Mash and Mix Wet Ingredients: Mash the sliced potato until smooth (you should have about 1/2 cup mashed potato). Add the softened butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until well combined.

Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder (if using). Fold in the ground chocolate shavings until evenly distributed, creating a rich, chocolatey dough.

Bake the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll into balls, and place them on the sheet, flattening slightly. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.

Cool and Serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container for up to a week.

Tips and Variations

Chocolate Swap: Use milk chocolate or white chocolate for a different flavor.

Nutty Add-In: Mix in 1/4 cup ground almonds for extra texture.

Spice It Up: Add 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon for a warm twist.

Serving Idea: Pair with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee for a cozy treat.
