Boil the potatoes until soft. Cool them well, peel the skin and grate the boiled potatoes.
Add the grated potatoes to a bowl. Add grated garlic or garlic powder, red chilli powder, salt, garam masala powder, oregano, cornflour, and chilli flakes to the potatoes. Mix well to a soft dough. The mixture should be smooth and not sticky.
Shape the dough into small balls. If the mixture feels too wet and sticky, add a little more corn flour (½ teaspoon at a time) until it holds shape easily.
Heat oil in a frying pan on medium heat. Carefully place the balls in hot oil, a few at a time. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Fry on medium heat, turning occasionally so they turn golden brown evenly on all sides. This should take 4–6 minutes for small balls.
When golden brown and crisp, remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
Serve hot with ketchup, green chutney, or a dip of your choice.
