Note:
• You can even deep fry them (oven free cooking) by using 2 tea strainers – – place each portion of mashed grated potatoes on metal tea strainer and top with another strainer. Hold firmly and deep fry in oil on medium flame till basket is golden brown. This may add few calories more to your diet.
Do not press the mixture too hard it might break/ create hole while baking.
• You can even reduce the proportion to half for 6 baskets.
