Allow the potato mixture to cool slightly (about 10-15 minutes) to make it easier to handle. Once cooled, take about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape it into a small, round, flattened patty, resembling a dumpling shape. Repeat with the remaining mixture until all patties are formed.

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, plain yogurt, and all-purpose flour until smooth and well combined to create the batter.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when a small drop of batter is added. Dip each potato patty into the prepared batter, ensuring it is fully coated on all sides.

Carefully place the coated patties into the hot oil, without overcrowding the pan. Fry for 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. You may need to do this in batches. Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
