Potato Ring Recipe: Make Crispy Snacks at Home from Potatoes

If you want to cook something new and interesting from potatoes, try making potato rings. This snack is easy to prepare at home using ingredients you already have, and its taste will be even better with an evening tea.

In Indian families, potatoes are a favorite vegetable for most people, especially children. You have probably cooked and eaten many potato dishes—be it curry, paratha, or pakora. However, if you want to try something different and more exciting, you can make potato rings. This snack is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Its preparation does not take much time, and it can be quickly made from home products. It can be served with green paste or any other sauce with evening tea.

Let's learn how to make potato rings at home and what ingredients you will need for this.

Ingredients

To prepare, you will need: 3-4 boiled potatoes, 1 cup of cornstarch, 2 tablespoons of rice flour, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of chaat masala, salt to taste, oil for frying, and water as needed.

First, peel the boiled potatoes and mash them thoroughly, ensuring there are no large chunks in the potatoes. Then add the cornstarch, rice flour, black pepper, red pepper, chaat masala, and salt to taste. Mix all the components well to form a soft dough. If necessary, you can add a little water.

From the resulting mass, form small balls. Take one ball, roll it by hand into a long shape, and then join both ends to give it a ring shape. Repeat this procedure with all the balls to get all the potato rings.

After that, heat oil in a pan. When the oil is well heated, drop several potato rings into it and fry over medium heat until golden and crispy. Turn the rings occasionally so they brown evenly on all sides. Place the finished potato rings on a plate.

Serve the hot potato rings with green paste, tomato sauce, or any other sauce of your choice. This snack is perfect for evening tea.
