Potato rolls

Planning for a picnic/party/potluck? Or...Looking for a tea-time snack? Here is a very easy recipe which can be done in a jiffy if you have some boiled potatoes and bread in hand. 

These rolls are immensely simple, delicious and a  perfect finger food.. The first time I made these rolls I was in my teens *smug look*. haha.. 

truth is I was experimenting with aloo paratha and goofed it up.. So I wrapped the spicy potato stuffing with a bread slice and fried them. 

These rolls are crunchy from outside and soft n spicy from inside. You can either deep fry it or bake it, totally upto you. You can use whole wheat brown/white bread to make it more healthy. Also you can add veggies of your choice along with potato. If you're thinking of a cheat food for your kiddo who hates veggies, this is the one. Let's get to the recipe already...
