Spicy Potato Buns

Looking for a delicious tea-time snack or party food? Look no further than these mouth-watering spicy potato buns! With their crispy exterior and soft, chewy interior filled with a spicy potato mixture, these buns are the perfect snack for any occasion.

For the perfect spicy potato buns, here are some tips. First, make sure to use lukewarm water (around 100 degrees F or 38 degrees C) to activate the yeast. Using hot water can kill the yeast, which is essential for making the dough rise. Second, knead the dough for about 13 to 15 minutes until it becomes smooth and silky. If you don't have a stand mixer, you can knead the dough by hand for about 15 to 20 minutes. Finally, place the buns in a warm spot for about 2 hours or until they double in size. If you're a vegetarian, you can brush milk over the dough instead of using egg wash.

These spicy potato buns are best served with tomato ketchup or mint and sweet chutney. So why not give them a try and let us know what you think in the comments?
