Back in my school days final year, we had a Cookery Teacher, who was a young newly married. She took us students to her home one day (because she was one of those friendly teachers!) and showed us how to make this simple snack. A good idea to use up left over bread slices!
Ingredients:
Bread slices – 12 (for 3-6 people)
Potatoes – 3-4
Salt, pepper to taste
Pinch of chilli powder (optional)
1- 2 Eggs for coating
Breadcrumbs for coating
Oil for frying
Method:
Boil potatoes, cool and mash. Add salt, pepper, chilli powder and set aside.
Cut of edges of bread slices.
Dip each slice in a small bowl of water, lightly, squeeze out water between the palms of your hands.
Take a small portion of the mashed potato and put in the centre of the bread slice.
Roll it up like a finger snack.
Dip in beaten egg.
Coat with the breadcrumbs.
Heat a frypan with oil and fry them gently, with a light golden colour. Do not overcook.
Drain any excess oil on paper.
Can be eaten plain or with a dip – tomato ketchup or chilli sauce.
