Potato Cheese Cutlets Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Potato Mixture:

• 4 large potatoes, boiled, peeled, and mashed
• Cheddar or mozzarella 1/2 cup grated cheese
• Finely chopped onions 1/4 cup
• Finely chopped bell peppers (red or green) 1/4 cup
• Garlic cloves minced 2
• Finely chopped 1 green chili,
• Cumin powder 1/2 teaspoon
• Garam masala 1/2 teaspoon (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh coriander leaves, chopped 2 tablespoons
• Breadcrumbs (for binding) 2 tablespoons

For Coating:

• Breadcrumbs 1 cup
• Eggs 2, beaten (for an egg wash) - or use a mixture of all-purpose flour and water as an egg substitute
• Oil for frying

Recipe:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, grated cheese, chopped onions, bell peppers, minced garlic, chopped green chili, cumin powder, garam masala (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Add the chopped coriander leaves and breadcrumbs to the mixture. This will help bind everything together. Mix thoroughly.

Take a small portion of the mixture and shape it into a round or oval cutlet, about 1/2 inch thick. Repeat this process with the remaining mixture.

Dip each cutlet into the beaten egg (or the flour-water mixture) and then roll it in the breadcrumbs until evenly coated. This creates a crispy outer layer.

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Ensure there is enough oil to submerge the cutlets.

Gently place the coated cutlets into the hot oil. Fry them until they turn golden brown and crispy, usually about 3-4 minutes.

Once done, remove the cutlets and place them on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Serve the hot and crispy Potato and Cheese Cutlets with ketchup, chutney, or your favorite dip.

These flavorful cutlets are a great mix of smooth potatoes and cheddar, with a sprinkle of spice and crunch. They make for an ideal tea time snake or starter for any event. Enjoy your homemade potato and cheese cutlets!
