In a pressure cooker, cook the potato for about 8 minutes. Once cooked, mash the potato and set aside. In a pot, combine oil, water, and salt and bring to a boil.

Forming and Frying
Turn off the heat and add the mashed potato, mixing until a smooth dough forms. Allow the dough to cool, then make small balls. Create a hole in each ball with your fingers and fill with the filling. Close the hole and shape it into the coxinha. Coat the coxinhas in filtered water and seasoned manioc flour, then fry in hot oil.
