Step 4: Then add mashed potatoes and mix well. After 2-3 minutes turn off flame.

Method to prepare the Samosa:
Step 1:Make little balls of dough , roll it out in any shape and then place it in the triangular shaped container. I use this to make it quikly. This happens with only one layer of dough on samosa, also it will bring crispiness while frying.

Step 3: Heat oil in a frying pan and deep fry until golden brown.
