Grate Potatoes for Deliciously Great Recipes

While you can always pair potatoes with other vegetables to make a whole dish, like aloo gobhi, aloo matar, capsicum aloo, etc., it is the standalone potato recipe that you must give a shot at. For dishes like fresh fries, potatoes are thinly sliced, but for a paratha, boiled potatoes are mashed. This variation brings about a change in the taste of the entire dish. Similarly, adding grated potatoes gives a twist to your meal too. Where to include them, you ask? From halwa to dumplings, grated potatoes can be used in these and many other recipes. We’ve curated a list of grated potato recipes for you.
