3 large boiled aloo (potatoes)
1 tsp salt or as per taste
2-3 bread slice

Peel the potatoes and mash them very finely into smooth mashed potatoes.Cut the brown edge of bread slice and mashed it with wet hands,add it to potatoes.Add salt and knead until properly mixed.
Divide it into 10 equal portions.
Now wash and dry your hands and rub them with little oil.
Take each portion of potato mixture and make a ball. Now Taking one at a time, gently flatten each ball into a round patty of about 1/2-inch thick and place a portion of stuffing in the center and fold the edges together very finely so that mixture does not come out.
Now very gently flatten it into a 2-inch patty. Repeat the procedure for all pieces.
Heat 1 tsp. oil in a non-stick pan over a low heat. Slip in the patties, not too many at a time, and pan-fry on both sides till crisp golden brown, adding oil if required, on a very low heat.
