I actually bought the slider buns and potatoes to make Pav Bhaji, another favorite dish of my kids but didn’t get time to get to the dish. They were lying on the counter since 2 days and then finally I boiled the potatoes in the morning in the pressure cooker. I thought that I will make Pav Bhaji for dinner.

The kids came back home from school, super hungry that day and wanted to attack the slider buns as is with no toasting or butter. I gave them some milk and some sliders with butter in it to ease out their hunger.

Meanwhile, I prepared the potatoes with mild curry spices, preheated the oven and bam the Cheesy Curried Potato Sliders were ready in no time.

Preparing Curried Potato Stuffing

Take a heavy bottom pan and heat oil in it. Once the oil is hot, reduce the heat to medium and add ginger garlic & onion to the hot oil. Saute on medium heat for 2 minutes till onion turns translucent. Do not brown it.
Now add EITHER the curry spice OR the other spices as mentioned above. Mix the spices and onions well with a spatula and saute for few seconds.
Add boiled and mashed potatoes to the pan. Mix the spices & onion mix well into the potatoes. Give it a good stir. If the potato stuffing looks too dry, then add 1-2 tbsp water to it. We do not want runny stuffing, just slightly wet so that the sliders do not dry out while baking.
Cook for 5 minutes, while stirring in between for even cooking.
Add chopped Coriander / cilantro leaves to it and mix.
The Curried Potato Stuffing is ready to be used. This stuffing comes very handy in many recipes.

Making Cheesy Curried Potato Sliders

Preheat the Oven at 375*F / 190*C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
If the slider buns are not pre-sliced, then slice them into halves horizontally.
Place good amount of Curried potato stuffing on the base of the sliders. Sprinkle good amount of cheese on top. Cover with the other halves of the sliders. Brush the top of the sliders with melted butter.
Place these in the baking tray and bake for good 7-8 minutes, till cheese melts.
Take these out, serve these hot with ketchup or dip of your choice.

You can make a batch and warm it up in microwave for 30 seconds when the kids are hungry.

If you don't want to bake in oven, then you can pan grill these as well.
