potato lollipop recipe | aloo lollipop | easy kids snack recipe with detailed photo and video recipe. an easy and simple potato-based snack known for its lip-smacking and mouth-watering taste. this recipe of the vegetarian lollipop is very much inspired by the meat variation which is generally served with spicy and tangy chutney or sauce. it is an ideal party starter or appetiser recipe which is not only limited to kids but can also be enjoyed by adult and all age groups.
as i had mentioned earlier, this recipe is very much inspired by the chicken lollipop recipe. even i have shared the thick corn flour-based sauce which is generally added and tossed with meat-based lollipops. the stuffing and texture are very similar to aloo based cutlet or patties. but the coating of bread crumbs makes it more appetite and crispy. in addition, the moist and thick sauce takes the taste and flavour to another level. in addition to it, the thick sauce adds tenderness to some part of the lollipop with crispiness on the other side. therefore, it is a combination of moist and crispiness which makes it an ideal kids friendly snack. if you find the sauce, spicy you may avoid it completely for you or for your kids. i personally like this sauce and i make it for most of my crispy snack, but not necessary if you do not wish too.
furthermore, i would like to add some more tips, suggestions and variations to the crispy potato lollipop recipe. firstly, i would like to highlight the importance of boiled potatoes for this recipe. i have pressure cooked the potatoes, but quickly removed it so that it does not absorb moisture. if it absorbs moisture, you may not be able to shape it. secondly, i have used ice cream sticks to shape these lollipops. you may shape it like balls and poke a toothpick to shape like a lollipop. lastly, i have used panko breadcrumbs which gives a golden and crisp texture to the snack. you may use other variations like crushed oats, rusk powder and even semolina (suji or rava).
