Using an air fryer reduces oil usage and calories.

Boil and peel 2 cups of potatoes, then shred them using a fine shredder.

In a mixing bowl, combine shredded potatoes, 3 tablespoons of cornstarch, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Knead the mixture until it forms a soft dough.

Add 1 tablespoon of finely chopped green chili and 1 teaspoon of finely shredded ginger to the dough and knead again.

Divide the dough into 20 equal parts and roll them into smooth balls.

Let the potato balls rest for about 5 minutes before frying.

Heat oil on low medium heat and fry the potato balls, turning them until golden brown, about 6 to 7 minutes.

Remove the balls from the oil and drain on paper towels.
