POTATO ROLL

Most of the persons like potatoes. I got a new idea of frying smashed potatoes. But i wanted it to be crispy and soft too. Then i planned to make it crispy by rolling it in corn flour. By doing so the outer layer is stiff and the inner potatoes are soft. If you have boiled extra potatoes for lunch then no problem your evening snack if almost ready. It takes nearly 5 min for you to prepare this snack - potato roll. It is like a outer crispy waffle filled with soft chocolate inside.
