Bread rolls with potato filling are a very popular snack in North India. Potato stuffed Bread rolls are made by soaking bread slices, then filled with spicy potato filling, and then deep-fried in oil. The potato filling is the same as that in samosas and you can add more vegetables like carrots, peas, capsicum according to your taste.
These are really easy to make and can be prepared in advance for deep frying later. I made rolls 1 hour in advance kept them covered and deep-fried them later.
It’s a perfect appetizer for serving your guest’s tea. You can pack it as a picnic snack also. My kids love to take these in their lunch boxes with ketchup. When I was in school one day teachers decided to have a picnic in school and asked the kids to get some snacks from their home. I took these bread rolls and they disappeared so fast that even I did not get a chance to eat them.

Hi Nidhi,
Thanks for a superb site..
One question…
Dont these bread rolls become soggy after a while.. I very frequently make these, but after an hour or so they tend to become soggy…
Thank you
Thanks Sayema. Do not cover these when these are hot. And you have to drain water completely from the slices before making them to get crisp roll. Hopefully this will help 🙂
Thanks for d wonderful quick receipe. My son will surely love it.
Thanks Vrunda 🙂

Hi nidhi..
My kid have just started going to school. I luckily got your site while searching and surfing 🙂 I loved it. If possible please add videos also.
You have soaked bread to make it roll wont the soaked bread drink more oil while you fry because of water??
Please keep sharing 🙂
It helps a lot for new moms like me 😉
Hi Rushi. Thanks for your encouraging words. you have made my day:-)
we have to soak bread to give it desired shape. After soaking bread we press it between our palms to remove excess water. Without this step we will not b able to give it round shape. As we remove excess water it does not soak much oil while frying. I hope I have cleared your doubt if not please feel free to ask me.
For filling you can use boiled carrots, corn or peas with potatoes. can also add grated cheddar cheese.
Thats a great idea Gunjan. I have been thinking of trying them with corn for some time. 🙂
thanks for the recpe along with the pics showing rolling of the bread.
you are welcome Rupali 🙂
