Start by preparing the ingredients for the market (chaval) and the market (ko).

Peel and grate raw potatoes using a fine grater.

Place the grated raw potatoes on a cloth to drain the excess liquid and starch.

Once drained, squeeze the grated potatoes to remove as much liquid as possible.

Mix the squeezed raw potatoes with an equal amount of cooked potatoes, mashing them together.

Add pork lard and salt to the mixture, and mix well by hand to combine everything.

Shape the mixture into balls about the size of a tennis ball, ensuring they are compact.

Prepare the chaval by mixing equal parts of cooked potatoes and flour, adding a bit of pork lard and salt.

Knead the mixture until well combined, ensuring it has a good consistency for cooking.
