Ingredients:

1/2 kg of boiled potatoes
Salt to taste
1/2 tsp of black pepper
1/4 tsp of crushed red chilli
1/2 tsp of dried oregano leaves
1/4 cup of breadcrumbs
1 small-sized onion, finely chopped
1 tsp of crushed green chilli
1 tbsp of chopped coriander leaves
Mozzarella cheese, grated
1 beaten egg
Breadcrumbs, as required
Oil for frying

How to make Potato Cheese Cutlets:

Start by mashing the boiled potatoes until they are smooth and free of lumps.
Add salt, black pepper, crushed red chilli, dried oregano leaves, and the first portion of breadcrumbs to the mashed potatoes. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
Next, add the finely chopped onion, crushed green chilli, and chopped coriander leaves to the potato mixture. Mix again until everything is evenly distributed.
Take a small portion of the potato mixture and flatten it into a small patty.
Place a generous amount of grated mozzarella cheese of your favourite brand in the centre of the patty, then fold the potato mixture around the cheese to form a cutlet. Make sure the cheese is completely enclosed within the potato.
Dip the cutlet into the beaten egg, ensuring it is fully coated.
Roll the egg-coated cutlet in breadcrumbs until it is well-covered.
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the cutlets in the pan and fry them until they are golden brown on both sides.
Remove the cutlets from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
Serve the potato cheese cutlets hot with your favourite dipping sauce or chutney.
