Frequently Asked Questions

Why do my aloo patties break while frying?

The potatoes are too moist. Let boiled potatoes cool and dry before mashing, add the breadcrumbs, and coat each patty well in the maida-cornflour slurry and breadcrumbs. Fry in hot oil and turn them only once.

Can I air fry the aloo patties?

Yes. Brush or spray them with oil and air fry until golden, turning once. They will be crisp but slightly less crunchy than deep-fried ones.
