Full Recipe:

Ingredients:

Filling:

• 500g potatoes (about 3 medium-sized potatoes)
• 100g onion
• 100g red bell pepper
• 2g salt (1/2 tsp)
• 100g mozzarella cheese
• 20g scallion
• Black pepper, to taste

Wrap:

• 200g all-purpose flour
• 3g salt
• 5g sugar
• 2 eggs
• 500g milk
• 20g oil

Coating:

• 3 eggs
• 30g flour
• Bread crumbs

Directions:

1. Prepare Potatoes:
   • Peel and cut the potatoes into cubes. Place them in a pot of boiling water and cook until tender. Drain well.
2. Prepare the Filling:
   • In a pan, heat some oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent.
   • Add diced red bell pepper to the pan and cook until softened.
   • Mash the cooked potatoes in a bowl. Add the sautéed onions and bell peppers.
   • Season with 2g of salt and black pepper to taste, and mix well.
   • Stir in 100g of mozzarella cheese and 20g of chopped scallions. Mix until everything is well combined.
3. Prepare the Wrap:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine 200g of flour, 3g of salt, and 5g of sugar.
   • Add 2 eggs and 500g of milk. Mix until smooth.
   • Stir in 20g of oil to the batter.
4. Cook the Wrap:
   • Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Pour a ladleful of batter into the pan and spread it out thinly.
   • Cook each side of the wrap for about 2 minutes until lightly golden. Repeat with the remaining batter.
5. Assemble and Coat:
   • Place a portion of the potato filling onto each cooked wrap and fold the sides over to enclose the filling. Roll it up tightly.
   • In a shallow bowl, whisk 3 eggs. Dip each rolled potato dish into the beaten eggs, then coat evenly with bread crumbs.
6. Fry the Potato Rolls:
   • Heat some oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry each potato roll until golden and crispy on all sides.
7. Serve:
   • Remove from the pan and drain excess oil on paper towels. Cut into slices if desired.
   • Serve hot and crispy, garnished with additional scallions or your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips:

• Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy coating.
• Adjust the seasoning in the filling to your taste preference.
• Use a non-stick pan to prevent the wraps from sticking and tearing.

Tips for Making the Best Crispy Potato Rolls

1. Hot Oil: Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy coating and prevent the rolls from absorbing too much oil.
2. Even Filling: Distribute the filling evenly across the wraps for consistent flavor in every bite.
3. Prevent Overcrowding: Fry the rolls in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, which can lower the oil temperature and result in soggy rolls.

Variations and Serving Suggestions

1. Spicy Twist: Add some finely chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the filling for a spicy kick.
2. Cheese Variations: Experiment with different cheeses like cheddar or feta for a unique flavor profile.
3. Serving Ideas: Pair these rolls with a tangy marinara sauce or a cool, creamy ranch dip for an extra burst of flavor.

Storage Tips

• Refrigeration: Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer to maintain their crispiness.
• Freezing: The assembled but unfried rolls can be frozen. Lay them out on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. Fry from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
