Instructions
Boil the potatoes
- Peel the skin of potatoes, cut them into cubes, sprinkle water, and microwave for 5 minutes. I prefer this as it is quick.2 Large Russet Potatoes
- You can even pressure cook the potatoes or cook them in a pan, adding water till it becomes soft. If you have leftover mashed potatoes after the holiday, try this recipe.
- Add the cooked potato to a mixing bowl and mash it.
Make the patties dough.
- To the mashed potato, add red chile powder, garlic powder, jalapeno, garlic bread crumbs, mozzarella cheese, and salt to taste and mix until non-sticky dough is formed. Add extra bread crumbs if needed based on the moisture content in potatoes.½ teaspoon Red Chile powder, ½ teaspoon Garlic powder, 1 Green chilie, ¼ cup Garlic bread crumbs, ½ cup Mozzarella cheese, Salt to taste
How to make patties or cutlets?
- Divide the dough into 8 or 10 equal portions. Shape them into a ball and gently flatten it.
- Add panko crumbs to one plate.½ cup Panko bread crumbs
- In a small bowl, add corn flour and very little water and mix to form a medium batter. (thin for the light crust and thicker batter for the thicker crust)1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- Dip each patty in corn flour paste and then coat it with bread crumbs by rolling it.
- Place this on a baking sheet.
Bake potato cheese patties
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Drizzle oil on each one of them and bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway through till they are golden in color, and broil it for the last 2 minutes if you want it to be crispier.Oil as needed
Cutlet in pan tawa or skillet
- Heat a tablespoon of oil on a pan for shallow frying, and place the patties. Do not overcrowd the pan. Fry them till they become golden brown and crispy on both sides. Add more oil or butter if desired.
Potato cutlet in air fryer
- Place the patties in the air fryer and spray some oil. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
- Serve patties with green mint chutney, sweet tamarind dates chutney, or ketchup, and enjoy.
Notes
- I have used russet. Use any variety of potatoes.
- You can also use leftover mashed potatoes. Make sure you adjust the bread crumbs and other spices based on the taste and texture.
- Spices: Red chile powder, garlic powder, and salt are all that I have added. You can use garam masala, curry powder, pepper powder, onion powder, or dried herbs like parsley or basil if needed.
- Garlic bread crumbs: To absorb the moisture, I have added bread crumbs. You can powder the poha or rusk (croutons) and add it to the recipe.
- Mozzarella cheese: Potato and cheese make the best combo, and kids love it. You can also add crumbled paneer or cheddar cheese instead.
