Servings: Approximately 25

Ingredients

For frying

Method

Note: You may consider serving the poppers with kasundi or Bengali mustard paste. Or with blue cheese salad dressing.

Instead of adding the grated cheese to the potato dough, keep aside and add a small lump of cheese into the centre of each ball.

Gluten-free almond flour maybe used instead of breadcrumbs.

If vegan, skip the egg wash and substitute regular cheese for vegan cheese or cheese powder, available online.

They may be also cooked in a 180°C preheated air fryer for about 8-10 minutes. Turn them over and cook 5-10 minutes more. Or baked in a 200°C oven for 15-20 minutes.
