Step 1
Boil potatoes in salted water until a knife pierces easily, about 12 minutes.
Step 2
Drain and cool slightly, then peel. Mash with 0.25 cup yogurt, cornstarch, garam masala, cilantro, salt, and pepper until just combined.
Step 3
Shape mixture into 4 thick patties (about 2 inches wide). Heat 2 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high until shimmering.
Step 4
Sear patties 3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy edges form. Work in batches if needed.
Step 5
Mix remaining 0.5 cup yogurt with chaat masala and a pinch of salt. Top warm patties with yogurt sauce.
