Ingredients

For the dough/snack base:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder (optional, for fluffiness)

For the filling:

  • 2 boiled eggs, chopped
  • 1/4 cup cheese (cheddar or mozzarella), grated
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1-2 tbsp fresh herbs (parsley or cilantro)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For frying:

  • 2-3 tbsp oil (or as needed)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough:
    In a bowl, combine mashed potatoes, flour, egg, salt, pepper, and baking powder. Mix until smooth and pliable.
  2. Prepare the filling:
    In a separate bowl, mix chopped boiled eggs, grated cheese, onion, herbs, salt, and pepper.
  3. Assemble the snacks:
    • Take a small portion of the potato mixture and flatten it in your palm.
    • Place a spoonful of the filling in the center.
    • Fold the edges over to seal, shaping it into a small patty or ball.
  4. Cook the snack:
    • Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
    • Place the prepared snacks in the pan and fry until golden brown on both sides (about 3-4 minutes per side).
  5. Serve:
    Serve warm with ketchup, chutney, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips

  • For a crispier texture, coat the snacks lightly in breadcrumbs before frying.
  • You can substitute the filling with minced chicken, vegetables, or spinach for variety.
  • Make a larger batch and freeze them before frying; cook directly from frozen when needed.
  • Adjust seasoning and herbs according to your taste preferences.
