Interesting variation on basic pan fries. Vary the hot stuff to taste. Ghee is definitely preferred but use oil/butter mix if you are stuck. Found the recipe on an Indian mail order website (www.indianfoodsco.com). Prep time assumes you have some potatoes cooked and room temperature already.

Steps:
- Prepare the filling first, so that it will be cool by the time the dough is ready.
- If you spread it while hot, it will make holes in the dough.
- Boil the potatoes (whole and with the skins on) until soft.
- Rinse under cool water and peel.
- Mash with fork (I put it through a ricer).
- Add grated coconut and next 8 ingredients.
- Spread the mixture on a surface to cool.
- Mix flour, turmeric, cayenne together in a large bowl.
- Rub in the melted butter, then add the water slowly and mix into a dough.
- Knead until soft.
- Roll out dough on a well floured surface (or wax paper) into a rectangle (about 1/8 inch thick).
- In other words quite thin.
- Spread the cooled mixture evenly.
- Roll up into a tight roll.
- Using a sharp, serrated knife, cut into slices of 1/2 inch/1 cm thick.
- Press them flat and form the slices so they are round and place on a platter.
- Heat the ghee or oil in a wok or deep fry pan.
- Fry for 3-5 minutes on each side, turning once, until golden brown.
- Serve hot with chutney.
Tips:
- Use the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes, are best for this recipe because they hold their shape well when fried.
- Slice the potatoes thinly: This will help them cook evenly and become crispy.
- Soak the potatoes in water: This will help remove excess starch and prevent them from sticking together.
- Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: This will help the potatoes get a nice, even crust.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: Cook the potatoes in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
- Cook the potatoes until they are golden brown and crispy: This may take a few minutes, so be patient.
- Serve the potatoes hot with your favorite dipping sauce: Ketchup, mustard, or ranch dressing are all good options.

Alu patras are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or side dish. They are perfect for parties or potlucks. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make this tasty treat at home. So next time you are looking for something different to serve, give alu patras a try!
