Boil 4 medium-sized potatoes until fork-tender, then peel and cut them into large pieces.

Mash the boiled potatoes with a fork, ensuring there are still some chunks visible.

Add 1 teaspoon salt, 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, and 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder to the mashed potatoes.

Incorporate 1.5 tablespoons of chopped coriander leaves into the mixture.

For binding, add 3 tablespoons of cornflour (or rice flour as an alternative).

Mix everything together by hand until well combined.

Shape the mixture into mini cylinders or any desired shape like patties or triangles.

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium flame until hot.

Fry the snacks one by one, ensuring the oil is not too low or too high to prevent them from bursting or burning.

Fry until they turn light golden brown, flipping them occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Remove the fried snacks using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Serve the crispy potato bites with ketchup or chili garlic sauce.
