Ingredients:

For the best Potato Cheese Rolls, you'll need:

- 4 large potatoes

- 1 cup grated cheese (Cheddar or Mozzarella works great)

- 1 small onion, finely chopped

- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

- 1 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)

- Salt and pepper to taste

- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

- 1/2 cup water

- 1 cup breadcrumbs

- Oil for frying

Preparation Steps:

1. Boil and Prepare the Potatoes:

Start by washing the potatoes thoroughly. Boil them in a large pot of salted water until they are fully cooked and tender, which should take about 20-25 minutes depending on the size. Remove from water, then cool them. Now peel off and mash the potatoes and mix properly. Aim for a smooth consistency without any large lumps.

2. Mix the Filling:

To your mashed potatoes, add the grated cheese, finely chopped onion, cilantro, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined. The inclusion of cheese not only adds a gooey factor but also a delightful creaminess to the filling. The spices and herbs perfectly complement the mildness of the potatoes and cheese, adding depth to the flavor.

3. Shape the Rolls:

Take a portion of the potato-cheese mixture and shape it into a roll, about the size of your palm. Ensure that the rolls are compact and uniform in size. This not only makes them look appetizing but also ensures they cook evenly.

4. Prepare for Frying:

In a small bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with water to create a smooth batter. This will act as a glue for the breadcrumbs, ensuring they stick to your rolls for that perfect crispy outer layer. Dip each roll into the flour mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated, then roll it in the breadcrumbs. Ensure each roll is thoroughly covered with breadcrumbs.

5. Frying:

Put the oil in a pan and heat it on the medium flame for half minute. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the rolls in the oil, cooking them until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. This should take about 3-4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the rolls from the oil and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Serving Suggestions:

These Potato Cheese Rolls are best served hot and fresh, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce.

Whether it's a tangy marinara, a creamy ranch, or a spicy chipotle sauce, the choice is yours. It can be served as snacks.
