Ingredients
For the Potato Dough:
- 3 medium potatoes (about 500g), peeled and boiled
- ½ tsp salt (or to taste)
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ cup (60g) all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)
For the Cheese Filling:
-
150g (about 1½ cups) cheese, diced or grated (mozzarella, cheddar, or paneer all work well)
For Cooking:
-
2–3 tbsp neutral oil for frying
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the Dough:
Mash the boiled potatoes while still warm until smooth.
Mix in salt, pepper, and flour gradually.
Knead lightly to form a soft dough. If sticky, add a bit more flour — it should be pliable but not dry.
Step 2
Prepare the Filling:
Mix the cheese with optional herbs or chili if using.
Step 3
Form the Cakes:
Divide the dough into equal balls.
Flatten each ball in your palm into a small disc.
Place a spoonful of cheese in the center.
Gently seal the edges and form a ball again, then flatten into a cake shape (about 1 cm thick).
Step 4
Cook the Cakes:
Heat oil or ghee in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Cook each cake for about 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy.
Serve hot!
