Stuffed Potato Cakes Recipe

Ingredients:

For the potato mixture:

• 4 large potatoes, peeled and boiled
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/4 cup milk
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the stuffing:

• 1 cup cooked vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, etc.)
• 1/2 cup grated cheese (optional)
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon oil

For coating and frying:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• Oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare the potato mixture:
   • Mash the boiled potatoes in a large bowl.
   • Add butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
2. Prepare the stuffing:
   • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat.
   • Add the chopped onions and garlic, sauté until golden brown.
   • Add the cooked vegetables, cumin powder, coriander powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and cook for 3-4 minutes.
   • If using cheese, add it to the mixture and stir until melted and combined. Remove from heat and let it cool.
3. Assemble the potato cakes:
   • Take a small portion of the mashed potato mixture and flatten it into a small disc in your hand.
   • Place a spoonful of the stuffing mixture in the center of the disc.
   • Carefully fold the edges over the stuffing and shape it into a patty. Ensure the stuffing is completely enclosed.
   • Repeat this process with the remaining potato mixture and stuffing.
4. Coat the potato cakes:
   • Place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs in three separate bowls.
   • Dredge each potato cake in flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure an even coating.
5. Fry the potato cakes:
   • Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
   • Fry the coated potato cakes in batches until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
   • Remove the potato cakes from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
6. Serve:
   • Serve the stuffed potato cakes hot with your favorite dipping sauce or chutney.

Enjoy your delicious stuffed potato cakes!
