  1. Put the diced potato on to boil and drain once just tender. Set aside.

  5. Spoon one spoonful of the mozzarella mix into each one. Using a smaller cutter, cut out 8 tops and set on top, pressing the edges gently together.
  6. Crack the egg into a bowl and brush over the tops, sprinkling a pinch of seeds. Bake for 20 minutes.
