- In a bowl,mix the mashed potato and all ingredients till well mixed.
- Lay the slices of bread out on a cutting board and put a generous quantity of the potato mixture on all the slices on both sides. Spread to cover the entire surface.
- You can trim the edges but I leave them on.Now cut the slices into quarters.
- Heat the oil for deep frying in a pan,on a medium flame.
- Now take each quarter slice and dip in the batter to coat well on all sides.
- Deep fry,stirring and turning ocassionally till it is golden brown on both sides.
