Ingredients
For the Potato Mixture
- 3 Potatoes boiled and roughly chopped, medium-sized
- 1 Onion finely chopped, medium-sized
- 2 Chilies finely chopped (adjust to your spice preference), green
- 3 clove Garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp Asafoetida hing
- 2 tsp Corn Flour
- 1/2 tsp Garam Masala or your preferred spice blend
- 1/2 tsp Salt to taste
For Coating and Frying
- 1 cup Breadcrumb
- 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese shredded
- 1/2 cup Oil for frying
Instructions
Prepare the Spice Paste
- Grind the green chilies and garlic into a smooth paste using a blender or food processor.
Combine the Potato Mixture
- In a large bowl, combine the boiled and mashed potatoes, finely chopped onions, green chili paste, asafoetida, garam masala, and salt. Mix well.
Add Binding Agents
- Add the cornflour and mix thoroughly to combine. The mixture should be slightly moist but hold its shape.
Prepare the Nuggets
- Grate the mozzarella cheese. Lightly oil your hands. Take a portion of the potato mixture, flatten it slightly, place a small amount of grated cheese in the center, and shape it into a nugget. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Bread the Nuggets
- Coat each nugget generously with breadcrumbs, ensuring they are fully covered.
Fry the Nuggets
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Carefully add the nuggets to the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides, turning occasionally. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side.
Serve
- Remove the nuggets from the pan and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve hot and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Potato Cheese Nuggets
- For extra crispy nuggets, you can double bread them – dip in the breadcrumbs, then dip again after a few minutes of rest.
- Adjust the amount of green chilies according to your spice preference. You can also add other spices like red chili powder or cumin for extra flavor.
- If the potato mixture is too dry, add a tablespoon or two of water to make it easier to shape the nuggets.
- Serve immediately for the best crispy texture. Leftovers can be reheated in the oven or air fryer.
