Boil the potatoes until they are soft. Peel and mash them thoroughly in a bowl. Add salt to taste and mix well. Optionally, you can add a tablespoon of vegetable oil to make the dough smoother.

Allow the mashed potatoes to cool a bit. Start kneading the potatoes to form a smooth dough. If the dough is too dry, you can add a little water, but be cautious not to make it too wet.

Divide the dough into small portions and roll them into balls. Flatten each ball into a round, thin disc. You can use a rolling pin or your hands. Add the momo filling in the center of the disc.

Fold the disc in half, creating a half-moon shape, and pinch the edges to seal the momo. Place the momos in a steamer and steam for about 15-20 minutes
