Potato Fritter Sliders - Air Fryer
Description
These Potato Fritter Sliders begin with a spiced mashed potato filling prepared by sautéing mustard seeds and curry leaves, then mixing in ginger, garlic, green chili, turmeric, cilantro, salt, and lemon juice. The mixture cools before being shaped into balls. A gram flour batter seasoned with cayenne pepper, salt, and oil provides a thin, crisp coating when the stuffed balls are dipped and cooked.
The fritters cook in an air fryer until crispy, offering a lighter preparation compared to deep frying, though stovetop frying is a viable alternative. The finished fritters are served on toasted dinner rolls (pav) brushed with ghee or butter and accompanied by various chutneys like chili garlic, mint, or tamarind for additional flavor layers. The sliders combine the earthy and spiced potato filling with the crunchy fried exterior and soft bun for a satisfying handheld snack or appetizer.
The recipe allows versatile use of chutneys and optional additions like cheese or fresh vegetables inside the slider. The air fryer method yields a slightly healthier result while keeping a crunchy texture, and the spices give the potato filling a distinctive aromatic character.

Instructions
Preparing batter
- Mix all batter ingredients together to form a thick smooth paste. Let this batter rest until you prepare the stuffing.
Preparing stuffing
- Mash the boiled peeled potatoes using your hand or a potato masher. You want them broken down, but not mushy.
- In a pan on stovetop (or in the instant pot on saute mode), heat oil. Add the mustard seeds, curry leaves. Let the mustard seeds pop.
- Add asafoetida, minced green chili, ginger, garlic and saute for 30 seconds until the raw smell is gone.
- Add salt, turmeric, cilantro and then quickly add the potatoes. Mix well.
- Add lemon juice and mix well with the potatoes. Take the potato stuffing off heat and let it cool.
- Preparing Potato Fritters
- Make small to medium sized balls with the potato stuffing using your hand.
- Brush oil on the air fryer grill pan.
- Mix the batter you prepared so it is smooth. Dip the potato balls in the batter, coat evenly and place them on the air fryer grill pan. Depending on the space you have add 4 or more at once, keeping space between them.
- Set at 390°F in Air fryer for 14 minutes. Check half way through.
- Carefully remove the fritters from the grill pan.
Preparing the Sliders
- While the fritters are being prepared, slice the dinner rolls into 2 pieces.
- Heat butter on a pan over medium heat and place the sliced dinner rolls on it. Lightly toast on one side and then turn to toast on the other side. (this step is optional)
- Apply tamarind and green chutney on both sides of the dinner rolls. Sprinkle some dry chili garlic chutney. Place the fritters in between the dinner rolls and press gently. Gently press a little and serve immediately.
Notes
- You may fry the spiced potato balls on the stovetop in hot oil instead of using an air fryer.
- Chutney options can vary; tried and tested choices include Indian mint, tamarind, chili garlic, as well as nontraditional spreads like chipotle mayo or pesto mayo.
- For added texture or flavor, add slices of onion, tomato, lettuce, or cheese to the sliders before serving.
