Ingredients

  • 2 large russet potatoes (about 1 pound), peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs (plus extra for coating)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 green chilies, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 egg, beaten (for binding)
  • Oil, for frying
  • Green chutney, for serving

How to Make Crispy Potato Cutlets

  1. Boil the potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the boiled potatoes until smooth. Add chopped onions, green chilies, cumin, coriander, turmeric, salt, pepper, and cilantro. Mix well.
  3. Stir in the beaten egg and 1/2 cup of bread crumbs until fully combined. The mixture should hold together; if too wet, add more bread crumbs.
  4. Shape the mixture into small cutlets, about 2-3 inches in diameter.
  5. Coat each cutlet in additional bread crumbs for extra crunch.
  6. Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the cutlets in batches, frying until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  7. Remove the cutlets and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with green chutney.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure the potatoes are well-drained after boiling to avoid a soggy mixture.
  • Adjust the spice level by modifying the number of green chilies.
  • For a lighter version, bake the cutlets in a preheated oven at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • If the mixture is too crumbly, add a little more beaten egg or a splash of water.

Easy Variations

  • Add cooked peas or corn to the potato mixture for added texture and flavor.
  • Swap in sweet potatoes for a different taste and nutrition profile.
  • Experiment with different herbs like mint or parsley for a fresh twist.
  • Mix in shredded cheese for a gooey, cheesy version of the cutlets.

What to Serve With It

  • Crispy French fries or potato wedges for a hearty snack plate.
  • Fresh salad with a tangy dressing to balance the richness.
  • Sliced cucumbers and carrots for a refreshing crunch.
  • A variety of dips, such as yogurt sauce or tamarind chutney.

Storage and Reheating

Store leftover cutlets in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a hot skillet with a splash of oil until warmed through and crispy again, or bake them in the oven at 375°F for about 10 minutes.
