These crispy and flavorful bites are perfect as a snack, appetizer, or even a side dish. With just a handful of ingredients and a few simple steps, you'll be enjoying these golden nuggets in no time. Let's get started!

Ingredients:

  • 4 to 5 medium sized potatoes
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • Onion (small - 1 no - finely chopped)
  • Coriander leaves (finely chopped)
  • Black pepper powder - 1/2 table spoon
  • Red chilly powder - 1/2 table spoon
  • Ginger garlic paste - 1/4 table spoon
  • Chat masala - 1/4 table spoon
  • Salt - as per taste
  • Egg (1 no) - beaten
  • Oil (for deep fry)
 
 

Directions:

1. Preparing bread crumbs (skip to Step #2 if you have it ready-made):
  • Dry roast both sides of the 4 bread loafs on a pan with low flame.
  • Cut the roasted bread loafs into smaller pieces.
  • Grind the bread pieces to make a fine coarse of breadcrumbs. 
 

 2. Preparing the Potato Nuggets Mixture:
  • Boil or pressure cook the potatoes until 3 to 4 whistles.
  • Drain the potatoes, allow them to cool (about 10 to 15 mins) and peel the skin of the boiled potatoes.
  • Grate the peeled potatoes finely.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the grated potato, 2 table spoons of breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, chopped coriander leaves, ginger garlic paste, red chilly powder, black pepper powder, chat masala and salt.
  • Mix all the ingredients gently.
 

3. Shaping and Coating the Nuggets:
  • Take small portions of the potato mixture and roll them into small, bite-sized nuggets without any cracks. 
  • Dip each nugget into the beaten egg, making sure to coat them completely.
  • Roll the coated nuggets in the breadcrumbs, ensuring a generous coating on all sides.
  • Dust the excess amount of bread crumbs on the nuggets.

 
4. Frying the Nuggets:
  • Heat cooking oil in a frying pan over high heat/flame.
  • Once the oil is heated, keep the flame medium.
  • Carefully place the coated nuggets into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
  • Fry the nuggets until they turn golden brown and crispy, flipping them occasionally for even cooking. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried nuggets onto a plate lined with paper towels. This will help absorb any excess oil.

 
5. Serving:
  • Upto 12 to 14 nuggets can be made with the above amount of ingredients.
  • Serve the potato nuggets hot with your favorite dipping sauce or condiment.
