Veg Potato Nuggets Recipe | Easy Party Starter Recipe

Potato nuggets recipe with step by step photo and video recipe. Potato nuggets are a very popular potato snacks recipe made from mashed potatoes. Crunchy, tasty and simply irresistible snacks recipe  Now you can have the perfect, crispy and cheesy homemade spicy mashed potato nugget.

I am not going to tell you that this is a very healthy food, or that you can really count on it to serve to all kinds of guests. I would rather say that, even though it is a very enjoyable food, and a favorite of everybody, “everybody” cannot have it, such as diabetic people or them with high cholesterol. I will recommend to either not include it in the fare, or make the effort to include other, evenly tempting options specifically for those guests, for example, paneer tikka, veg soya kebabs or even baked pizza tokri and Cheese Exotica Fingers, Veg Spring Rolls, Paneer Cutlet, Crispy French Fries Recipe, Bread Rolls Stuffed,  Crispy Cheese Corn Kebab, Steamed Bread Rings

If you have water right after having the fried food, you feel heavier and it can totally kill the appetite for dinner. So try to dissuade your guests, especially kids to have water right after eating the potato nuggets as well as other fried food. While hot beverages like tea or coffee can rather stimulate the digestion of non-saturated fat, cold beverages and water can cause it to solidify, and accumulate in the muscles. Read this article to know more.

I can understand if you find all the suggestions too complicated, so I will narrow it down to two things— have fried potato nuggets in controlled portions and don’t have water immediately after having it. You can also choose from these options, like, Poha cutlet, Macaroni cheese balls, bread rolls, potato vermicelli cutlet.

I am using regular Amul cheese in this recipe, you can use other variants like cheddar or mozzarella, or even a stick of paneer would taste very nice. Potatoes are excellent stress busters, whereas, deep-fried-potato, is a fatty food, and high on calories. But having it occasionally is alright, because you are going to need some calories on the day end, and if you totally ban it out of your life, you can even face malnutrition.

You can store the bread crumb coated potato nuggets in the refrigerator for later use but don’t keep it for more than a day. Try to avoid refrigerated food as much as you can.

• Firstly, put boiled potatoes in a mixing bowl and mash it with your hands or you can also grate the boiled potatoes or can mash it by using potato masher.

• If the mixture is sticky then add more oats flour or bread crumbs accordingly.
• Take a generous portion of mixture and roll it in your palms to make medium size ball. You can give any desired shape of your choice like oval shape or in the shape of tikki. Repeat the same process to make rest of the balls.

• Heat oil in a deep pan on medium heat, once the oil becomes hot drop each potato nuggets one by one slowly into it.  Do not overcrowd the pan, fry potato nuggets in batches.

• Fry potato nuggets on medium flame until they are golden brown and crisp, while turning occasionally. This would take 3-4 minutes.
• Take out the potato nuggets over a paper towel or an absorbent paper to remove excess oil. Fry the remaining potato nuggets in batches.

• Serve hot with any chutney or sauce of your choice.

• FIrst of all, you can also add green chilly instead of red chilly flakes or if you don’t want to eat spicy can skip also.
• Oil should be hot enough while frying the potato nuggets, do not fry at low temperature otherwise it will get break and absorbs lots of oil.
