This recipe features crispy and chewy cheese balls made with pumpkin and string cheese. First, remove the seeds and pulp from the pumpkin and cut it into small pieces so that it cooks easily. Place it in a heatproof container, cover with plastic wrap, and heat in the microwave until soft. While still hot, separate the pumpkin flesh from the skin, weigh out 250g of the skinless pumpkin, transfer it to a bowl, and mash it while still warm. Add 25g of potato starch and mix well until there are no lumps of flour, then knead it with your hands until it forms a single mass. Divide the dough into 8 equal parts, wrap each in a piece of string cheese cut into 4 pieces, and seal tightly to prevent the cheese from leaking out, shaping it into a smooth ball. Use a toothpick to press down on the top to create grooves, shaping it into a pumpkin, and then fry it in a pan with heated oil over medium-low heat. Once it is golden brown all over, remove it from the pan, drain the oil, and decorate it with pumpkin seeds to resemble stems. This is a fun and visually appealing dish that is perfect for Halloween.
