Blend the wasabi paste into the mashed potatoes.

Shred the 7th potato and toss in the lemon juice.

Using cold mashed wasabi potatoes, spoon out about a ball about the size of 2 tablespoons and form it into a rough barrel shape.

Take about 1 Tablespoon of shredded potatoes and press around the wasabi tot.
