2. Prepare the Potatoes:
   Peel the potato and chop it into small chunks. Boil the pieces in a pressure cooker for about 3 whistles (or until they are soft enough to mash). Once done, mash the boiled potato and keep it ready.

3. Croutons and Seasoning:
   In a mixer, blend the fried bread cubes (croutons) until they form a coarse powder. Set aside. Now, in the same mixer, coarsely blend the coriander leaves, ginger, and green chilies together.

4. Combine the Ingredients:
   In a large bowl, add the mashed potato, chopped spaghetti, powdered croutons, and the coriander-ginger-chili mix. Season with salt and pepper. Add a few drops of lemon juice for a fresh zing.

5. Mash and Form the Rolls:
   Using your hands or a spoon, mix and mash the ingredients together until they are well combined. Take a small portion of the mixture and shape it into an oval roll. Repeat this process until you’ve used all the mixture to form several oval-shaped rolls.

6. Refrigerate the Rolls:
   Place the rolls on a tray lined with cling film. Cover the tray with the same cling film and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes. This helps the rolls firm up and hold their shape better during baking.

7. Preheat the Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) for about 5 minutes.

8. Prepare the Baking Tray:
   Take an oven tray and lightly brush it with extra virgin olive oil. If you prefer, you can cover the tray with aluminum foil before brushing it with oil to make clean-up easier.

9. Bake the Rolls:
   Place the prepared potato-spaghetti rolls on the baking tray. Brush the top of each roll with a little olive oil (brushing only one side is sufficient). Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake the rolls for around 30 minutes.
   Tip: Check the rolls after 15 minutes and flip them to ensure they cook evenly. The bottom side tends to cook faster, so keep an eye on them to avoid over-browning. If needed, brush more olive oil on the rolls.

10. Final Touch:
    Once the rolls are golden brown and crispy on the outside, remove them from the oven. Let them cool slightly.

11. Serve Hot:
    Your Baked Potato-Spaghetti Rolls are now ready to be enjoyed! Serve them hot alongside a flavorful Dhaniya Pudina Chutney (Coriander-Mint Dip) or a tangy Roasted Tomato Sauce for a perfect appetizer.

Serving Suggestions

These baked rolls are a versatile dish and can be paired with a variety of dips and sauces. Some options include:

• Dhaniya Pudina Chutney: This refreshing chutney made with fresh coriander, mint, green chilies, and lime adds a bright, tangy flavor to the rolls.
• Roasted Tomato Sauce: A richer option, this sauce brings a robust, roasted flavor with a hint of garlic and herbs that pairs beautifully with the crispy texture of the rolls.

Recipe Notes

• Spice Adjustments: Feel free to adjust the number of green chilies according to your spice tolerance. If you prefer a milder flavor, you can reduce the quantity, or even omit them if desired.

• Crispier Rolls: For extra crunch, you can toast the croutons for a few minutes before blending them. This will give the rolls an added layer of texture.

• Alternative Ingredients: If you don’t have croutons on hand, you can use breadcrumbs as a substitute, though the flavored croutons do add a nice touch of garlic and rosemary.

• Frying Option: If you’re short on time or prefer an even crispier result, you can deep fry these rolls instead of baking them. Just make sure the oil is hot enough to prevent the rolls from breaking apart.
