as i mentioned previously, the potato bites recipe is not native to indian cuisine. as a matter of fact, the recipe is very much inspired by its meat counterpart. typically in the western fast food joints, meat-based bites are served as a side to the burgers or to the pizza. when the same concept was introduced by these joints, they had to cater for the non-meat eaters in india. obviously, the potato was the first option and eventually, a non-meat based bites was introduced in the menu. it was very well appreciated and has taken indian by storm. it is now not just served as a side but as one of the popular evening snacks. in addition, fusion recipes have developed around it and are used in rolls, burgers as stuffing. nevertheless, aloo bites recipe is one of the most sought snacks in urban cities.
furthermore, i would like to add some tips, suggestions, variations for a crisp and tasty potato bites recipe. firstly, the crisp and golden brown texture entirely depends upon the breadcrumbs coating. hence, i would heavily recommend using panco breadcrumbs which makes it ideal for these kinds of snacks. secondly, pan frying and shallow frying is not an option for any bites recipes. it has to be dipped thoroughly in hot oil so that it gets cooked evenly. lastly, you can experiment the recipe by adding other boiled and mashed vegetables with potato. perhaps, peas, gobi, carrot and capsicum are the popular options.
