Whether they are served hot or cold, these patties are fit for any meal or snack. They make a great side dish and can be customized in many ways. If you want to add complexity to the taste add chopped onions. If you want to add texture shred the potatoes. Some people like to add fenugreek, shredded coconut, spices, and other vegetables. You can also cook until golden or really dark and toasted.
