How to Make
- 1.
Make the cheesy mix
In a bowl, combine mashed potatoes, grated Britannia Cheese, cornflour, chilli flakes, pepper, and salt. Mix until everything comes together into a soft dough.

Shape the nuggets
Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into bite-sized nuggets—round, oval, or even fun shapes for kids.

Coat for crunch
In a separate bowl, mix plain flour with a little water to make a smooth paste. Dip each nugget into the flour paste, then roll it in breadcrumbs for that perfect crispy layer.

Fry to golden perfection
Heat oil in a pan. Fry the nuggets in small batches on medium heat until they turn golden brown and crispy on all sides.
