Notes

  1. Use floury or wax potatoes as it gives you more flavor after mashing. Mostly prefer for baking. (Yukon gold are best).
  2. Shallow fried cutlets are much better than deep fried.
  3. Use rice flour for an extra crispy texture. 
  4. Monitor oil temperature before frying. Make sure the oil is preheated.
  5. As the cutlet gets first fried coat then slow the heat process to make it extra crispy.
  6. In the same way, flip and apply the same step to manage crispiness.
  7. Take it out on the kitchen rack so it gets air from the up and downsides. In this way, it will remain crispy for a long time.
  8. Place cutlets at room temperature. Avoid heated or warm places to stay crispy.
