Introduction:
These crispy veggie potato patties are a simple yet satisfying snack or side dish. Perfectly golden on the outside and soft on the inside, they are easy to make and can be customized with your favorite ingredients.

Ingredients:
- 2 large potatoes, boiled and mashed
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn, etc.), finely chopped and cooked
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (plus extra for coating)
- 1/4 cup grated cheese (optional)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1-2 green chilies, chopped (optional)
- 1/2 tsp cumin powder
- 1/2 tsp garam masala (or spice mix of your choice)
- Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, cooked vegetables, onion, breadcrumbs, cheese (if using), and spices. Mix until well combined.
- Shape the mixture into small patties.
- Roll each patty lightly in breadcrumbs for extra crispiness.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the patties until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
