Ingredients:
4 medium potatoes, peeled and boiled
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup grated cheese (cheddar or mozzarella works best)
1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons butter or oil
8-10 soft flour tortillas or rolled flatbreads
Oil for frying
Instructions:
Prepare the Potato Filling:
Begin by boiling the potatoes until they are soft. Drain them and mash them thoroughly in a large mixing bowl.
Cook the Spices:
In a pan, heat the butter or oil and sauté the cumin seeds until they start to splutter. Add the chopped onions and cook until they are golden brown. Stir in the turmeric powder, garam masala, and chili powder, cooking for another minute to release the flavors.
Combine the Filling:
Add the mashed potatoes to the spiced onion mixture, and stir well to combine. Add the grated cheese and chopped coriander, and mix everything together. Adjust salt and spices to taste.
Assemble the Rolls:
Lay a tortilla or flatbread flat on a clean surface. Place a generous amount of the potato filling in the center, then carefully fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, rolling it tightly. Repeat this for all tortillas.
Fry the Rolls:
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry each rolled-up potato tortilla until golden and crispy on all sides. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes per side.
Serve Hot:
Once the rolls are crispy and golden, remove them from the oil and drain on a paper towel. Serve hot with chutney, ketchup, or your favorite dip.
Tips for Serving and Storing:
Serving Ideas:
Minced potato rolls are perfect for serving with tangy tamarind chutney, mint yogurt dip, or even a simple ketchup. They also pair wonderfully with a fresh green salad for a more filling meal.
Storing:
If you have leftovers, store the rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. To reheat, you can lightly toast them in a pan or oven to restore their crispiness.
Make Ahead:
You can prepare the filling ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to a day before assembling and frying the rolls. This will save time when you are ready to cook.
