Potato Cutlets

Potato Cutlets are a popular Indian snack made from mashed potatoes mixed with vegetables, fresh herbs and aromatic spices. The mixture is shaped into patties, coated lightly with breadcrumbs and pan-fried until crisp outside while remaining soft inside. These cutlets are delicious with mint chutney, ketchup or yogurt dip and work well as an appetizer, tea-time snack or sandwich filling. Using cooled mashed potatoes makes the mixture easier to shape and helps the patties hold together during cooking.
