See to it that the inside of the potatoes are also cooked. This may take 5-7mins. Press lightly on the potato to check if they are done. Don't press them too hard, otherwise they may break.
5.Once they are deep fried, take them out and place them on a paper towel. Put them upside down so that any oil left in the shells is drained out completely. Keep them aside till they cool.

Once the raw smell goes off, now add the stuffed potatoes one by one slowly into the sauce. Keep stirring now and then and cook it covered for sometime.
