Bread Potato Rolls recipe a delicious finger licking snack !Β My childhood memories are revived with these tasty rolls. These are bread ball / rolls stuffed with mashed potatoes, spices, herbs and then deep fried. It’s crunchy from outside and soft from within. Remember how me and my sis used to relish them in our lunch boxes and during tea-time at home.

These taste good with green chutney, sweet chutney and sauce. A word of caution these are not meant for calorie conscious people. As it consist cheese and is deep fried. To make it low fat you could avoid cheese and shallow fry them. However I love the way my mother makes and it was my luck she made this while I clicked the pictures.
We have added green peas along with mashed potatoes. You could avoid peas add sweet boiled corn instead or skip it. The secret ingredient for this roll are roasted cumin powder and amchur powder which gives a great flavor and taste to these rolls.
For variation you could add cottage cheese, sweet potatoes etc. Make the stuffing your way with your favorite veggies. I love the way the recipe is π you could adapt your way. I have made cheese potato ballsΒ andΒ goan peas potato chopsΒ which were quite yum.
Bread Potato Rolls step by step recipe detail follows:
1.Firstly boil the potatoes and peas until cooked and tender.
2. Keep all the spices, herbs and rest of ingredient handy for the roll.
3. Now combine potatoes, peas, ginger, chilies, all spice powder, salt, black salt and lime juice.
4. Also add mint leaves and coriander leaves.
5. Lastly add grated cheese. Combine all nicely.
6. Shape into lemon sized balls and place it on a dish. Ensure they don’t stick to each other. Makes approximately 15 balls.
7. Now take bread slices and cut the hard edges.
8. Dip the bread into some water and remove immediately. Remove the excess water by squeezing gently with your palm. You would perfect this once you make them more times.. Just don’t allow the bread to absorb excess water as this would result in soggy bread. Also you won’t be able to cover the stuffing. In case you get a soggy bread not to worry use other bread instead π

Using bread to coat the filling is a wonderful idea. I love the flavors in this recipe. Will it be similar to Samosas?
maria says
The filling is quite similar to a samosa filling but the covering of samosas are made from refined flour with a stiff dough to cover the filling. Then the samosas are deep fried in oil. Hope this helps you π
