Golden rings of joy made with tender chicken, fluffy potatoes, and gooey cheese—these savory donuts are perfect for snacks, parties, or even dinner with a dip on the side. No fancy tools, just simple ingredients and BIG flavor.
🧺 Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
For the donut mixture:
- 2 medium potatoes (boiled & mashed)
- 1 cup cooked chicken, finely chopped or shredded
(boiled, roasted, or leftover chicken works great) - 1 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
(cheddar or a mix also works!) - 1 small onion, very finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 egg
- 3–4 tablespoons breadcrumbs (as needed)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch or flour
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Optional: chopped parsley or coriander 🌿
For coating:
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko gives extra crunch)
- 1 egg (beaten)
For frying:
- Vegetable oil (enough for deep or shallow frying)
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
🥔 Step 1: Prepare the Base
Boil the potatoes until fork-tender. Peel and mash them while still warm until smooth—no lumps!
👉 Smooth potatoes = perfect donut texture.
🍗 Step 2: Mix the Flavor
In a large bowl, combine:
- Mashed potatoes
- Chopped chicken
- Grated cheese
- Onion & garlic
- Egg
- Breadcrumbs
- Cornstarch
- All spices and herbs
Mix well until you get a soft but moldable dough.
👉 If it’s sticky, add a little more breadcrumbs.
🍩 Step 3: Shape the Donuts
- Take a small portion of the mixture.
- Roll into a ball, flatten slightly.
- Use your finger or a small cap to make a hole in the center.
- Shape gently into a donut ring.
Repeat until all the mixture is used.
🥚 Step 4: Coat for Crunch
- Dip each donut into beaten egg.
- Roll generously in breadcrumbs.
- Press lightly so the coating sticks well.
👉 This step gives you that super crispy golden crust ✨
🔥 Step 5: Fry to Golden Perfection
