Vegan and Gluten Free 

Mouth melting coins prepared with potatoes, basic seasoning and made in Air Fryer using just 1 tbsp of oil is a snack never seen before.

Before proceeding ahead, we would like to adress a particular doubt which may be arising in many minds, and that is “aren’t these are as good as aloo tikkis?”

We could catch up this query without being asked by anyone because we ourselves though about same before making this crispy potato appetizer recipe.

The answer is NO. This homemade potato coins recipe is no way close up aloo tikki. Both have a different taste and texture.

Aloo tikki is quite big in size but these are bite sized snàcks. 

The seasoning used in aloo tikki is completely Indian whereas this crispy mashed potato snack is having western spices only.

In aloo tikki, there’s no compulsion that potatoes should be completely creamy whereas in this kid friendly potato snack recipe, there shouldn’t be a potato chunk at all.

This potato dough snack recipe is just a perfect recipe if you are a potato lover. Crispy outside, soft inside and that too with least oil, what else needed? 

Serve with ketchup, mayonnaise, green chutney or cheese dip, this easy tea time potato snack is a perfect recipe for kids lunch boxes and also suitable for evening tea or parties.

You can also prepare the dough in advance, freeze the cut coins and air fry directly from frozen with a slight increase in cooking time.

Step Wise Pictorial recipe of Air Fryer Potato Coins | Crispy Potato Snack Recipe

Take boiled and peeled potatoes in a wide plate or bowl.

Mash them so well. There remains no chunks left.

Add red chilli flakes, black pepper powder, oregano, mix herbs, salt and oil. Don’t add oil in case making this recipe by deep frying.

Mix everything so well.

Now start adding rice flour, spoon by spoon, and keep mixing.

Make a smooth dough.

Take a plastic or polythene sheet and grease it.

Place the potato dough on it. If the sheet is small, then put half of the dough.

Place one more greased sheet on potato dough.

Firstly press the dough with your hand.

Then roll it using rolling pin. Don’t roll it too thin.

Remove the upper sheet and cut the dough into coins with round cutter or with a lid of some bottle. However you can shape in any way you like, even in french fries one.

Now pick up the coins.

Then reassemble the leftover dough, shape it again and cut into coins again.

NOTES

1. The quantity of rice flour is not certain. Add as much as needed to make a smooth dough.
2. Instead of mentioned spices, you can add basic indian spices as well, like red chili powder, garam masala, coriander powder alongwith coriander leaves.
3. If deep frying, fry in batches. Do lot overcrowd the pan in one go.
4. You mandatorily need the plastic or polythene sheets to roll the dough. Don’t think it can be rolled without them.
