So if you are a potato lover, this article is made for you. Here are four delicious snacks that can be made from potatoes.
Honey Chili Potato
This is undoubtedly one of the most delectable food inventions, and it grows on you with each taste. Make long sticks out of the potatoes (like French fries). Bring one and a half cups of water to a boil in a saucepan, then add salt and potato sticks. Cook for around 2-3 minutes. Drain any extra water from the potatoes and place them in a basin. Add 2-3 tablespoons cornflour, red chili powder, and ground black pepper to taste. Mix well and deep-fry the potato sticks till golden brown.
Take it out and set it aside. Sauté the ginger-garlic combination and green chile for 1-2 minutes in a heated frying pan with oil. Now add the onions and capsicum and cook for 2-3 minutes on high heat. Cook for two minutes after adding the soy sauce, ketchup, and chili sauce.
In a separate bowl, combine the remaining cornflour with 2-3 tbsp of water to produce a thin slurry. Pour it into the mixture and continue to whisk until it thickens. Mix in the fried potatoes well. Reduce the heat to low, add the honey, and whisk for another 30 seconds. Enjoy with a sprinkle of white sesame seeds on top.
Potato Lollipop
Replace your typical cookies with these delicious potato lollipops to elevate your evening tea time. Mash the potatoes with chopped onions, coriander leaves, half a cup of bread crumbs, red chili powder, coriander powder, ginger-garlic paste, amchur powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Set aside after thoroughly mixing all of the ingredients. Now, in a small bowl, combine Maida or all-purpose flour.
Make a thin slurry with water. Mix in the remaining bread crumbs, red chili flakes, and oregano spice in a separate bowl. Rub some oil onto your palms and roll the potato mixture into little bite-sized balls. Dip it in the slurry, then coat it thoroughly with the bread crumbs. Repeat with the rest of the mixture. After that let it cool down inside your refrigerator for about 10 minutes. If the time is up, get your wok, heat the oil, and fry the balls until you get a golden brown structure.

Shred the potatoes and thoroughly rinse them in ice-cold water. Drain and press the potatoes to remove extra water. Combine an egg, flour, grated cheese, diced onion, garlic, salt, red chili powder, and powdered black pepper in a mixing bowl. Mix in the shredded potatoes well.
Heat the oil until it is over medium heat, then add the potato mixture using a spoon. Gently push it to ensure that the mixture is uniformly distributed. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until crisp and golden brown. Transfer to a platter and serve immediately!
