Cheese potato cutlets are the ultimate snack flex; let's dive into the cheese potato cutlet experience. Start by boiling a few medium-sized potatoes until they're soft enough to mash.
- 2
Once cooked, peel and mash them while they're still warm.
- 3
While you're at it, throw in a pinch of salt—it really brings out the potato's natural flavour.
- 4
Now, for a little extra flair, mix in a pinch of paprika for that smoky, spicy kick and a sprinkle of crushed black pepper to elevate the flavour.
- 5
Set the mashed potatoes aside, and let's talk batter.
- 6
In a separate bowl, combine 4 tablespoons each of all-purpose flour (maida), rice flour, and corn flour.
- 7
Rice flour adds the crunch, corn flour keeps it light, and maida binds it all together.
- 8
Feeling fancy? Add a pinch of Cajun spice for a little heat and some serious flavour vibes.
- 9
Now, here's the secret weapon: club soda.
- 10
Slowly pour it into the flour mix while whisking.
- 11
Aim for a smooth pancake batter-like consistency—not too thick, not too thin.
- 12
With the batter ready, it's time to assemble the cutlets.
- 13
Take a chunk of your potato mix and shape it into a round or oval patty, about palm-sized.
- 14
For the pièce de r sistance, pop a cube of cheese (cheddar or whatever you love) into the center of the patty.
- 15
Gently seal the potato around the cheese, making sure it's completely covered.
- 16
Trust me, that melty cheese surprise in the middle is what dreams are made of.
- 17
Dip each patty into the batter, making sure it's fully coated.
- 18
The potato starch helps the batter stick perfectly, so don't skimp.
- 19
Heat some oil in a pan over medium heat.
- 20
You'll want enough oil to partially submerge the cutlets, but no need to deep fry them.
- 21
Carefully slide the cutlets into the hot oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes per side until they're golden brown and crispy.
- 22
That sound when they hit the oil? Pure satisfaction.
- 23
Once they're perfectly crunchy, pull them out and let them chill on a paper towel to soak up any extra oil.
