    Potato cutlet recipe

    We all love crispy potato snacks and cutlets. In most of the recipes you need to deep fry them but not in this one. I have made these aloo cutlets in three ways and love each method equally.

    Yes! you can make these potato snacks without deep frying frying. I have made shallow fried ones. You can make them as healthy or sinful as you desire. 

    Serve them as party appetiser, tea time snack, pop them in lunch boxes or stuff them as a patty in the burgers!  Kids love these crispy and cheesy bites of potatoes. The best part is you can easily sneak in zucchini and that means these are healthy too. So this makes perfect potato snacks for kids as well.

    These Potato Triangles are

    • Indian Potato Snacks. 
    • Healthy and easy to make
    • Crispy and can be made as non-fried potato snacks for kids.
    • Vegetarian snack recipe to serve as party appetizers.

    Ingredients 

    C

    Zucchini: grated zucchini makes this a healthy potato snack recipe. If you cant find zucchini you can use grated bottlegourd/lauki. But make sure to squeeze out excess water if you are using grated bottlegourd. 

    Oil:any vegetable oil is good if you are shallow frying. To make them super healthy you can make these potato snacks in Air-fryer and use oil spray. 

    All purpose flour: To add crispy coating of bread crumbs you need to dip them in a liquidy batter coating. If you don't want to use maida/APF you can use arrowroot powder instead.

    Bread crumbs: Bread crumbs add a nice crunchy texture. For this perfect texture that you see in my recipe comes from using panko bread crumbs. 

    Spices & Seasonings: Salt, chilli flakes, parsley, dried mixed herbs, black pepper, coriander leaves

    Method: How to Make

    Making these crispy potato snacks is quite easy. Here's step by step method to make them.

    Making Triangle Potato Cutlet Mixture

    Mixture for making cutlets  

    Start with grating zucchini first. Grate zucchini with larger holes of a box grater and keep it aside. You can use food processor if you wish to.

    In a  bowl and add boiled potatoes, grated zucchini, and grated cheese, parsley, chilli flakes, salt, mixed herbs, black pepper, and coriander leaves. Mix all the ingredients well.

    To Shape The Triangle Potato Cutlets

    shaping potato cutlets

    Grease your palm with some oil. On flat surface spread the potato mixture using your fingers to flatten it.

    With the use of a knife perfect the edges of the mixture and make a rectangular shape. Place this in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

    After 30 minutes, take out the mixture and with a knife cut them first into squares and then further in the middle to form triangles.

    Shape them in triangles as shown in the picture.

    Coating the Cutlet in Batter

    • First make a batter for coating the cutlets.
    • In a bowl add maida/all purpose flour, salt, and water. Mix it well to make a thin batter.
    • Dip the triangles in the coating batter. 
    • Coat it into bread crumbs nicely. shake of extra bread crumbs.
    • In a pan heat some oil. 

    Shallow Fry Potato Cutlets

    • When the oil starts to smoke, carefully add the cutlets and shallow fry them.
    • Flip and fry them from both sides until they are golden brown.
    • When done, switch off the heat and serve with ketchup chutney or dip of your choice.

    Recipe Notes & Tried Tips 

    Making these homemade triangle Potato cutlets is very easy.

    1. It is very important to use right amount of potato and cheese.
    2. Be sure to use a mix of mozzarella cheese and cheddar cheese for best this recipe. This will give you perfect gooey texture and cheesy taste.
    3. Freeze them before cutting into triangles. That is very important for right shape.
    4. I make sure to dip them nicely in the flour batter before coating into bread crumbs. This way I make sure there is beautiful golden crispy crunchy layer outside these potato triangles.
    5. Press the breadcrumbs over each cheese potato triangle to ensure even coating.
    6. You can freeze them for later, or shallow fry and cook till golden brown.

    How to Make Potato Cutlets Healthy?

    These potato triangles taste best when shallow fried. This helps to retain the shape and makes them crispy and delicious.

    To make the healthy potato cutlets without oil or with very less oil you can make either baked cutlets or make these triangle cutlets in Air fryer.  The result is not exactly the same but delicious nevertheless.

    There may be slight change in the shape and cheese may leak out of triangles. But taste wise these baked cutlets and Air fryer cutlets are quite delicious. 

    To Bake Triangles Potato Cutlets

    • Spray or brush the potato triangles with oil or cooking spray.
    • Preheat oven to 200C for 5 minutes. 
    • Bake 9-11 minutes or until crumbs are crisp and cheese is melted.
    • Your baked cutlets are ready.

    Potato Cutlets in the Air Fryer:

    1. Preheat air fryer to 200C.
    2. Brush the cutlets with thin layer of oil or use a spray can to spray oil.
    3. Place the shaped cutlets in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
    4. Air fry them in small batches as per your air fryer for 7-8 minutes or until crisp and golden brown.

    Can You make Cutlets Ahead of time and Freeze them?

    You can make these potato snacks ahead of time and freeze them easily. And these homemade frozen cutlets are healthy and tasty. These are far better than store bought frozen cutlets any day.
