Prepare the cover for the samosa by combining the maida, hot ghee or oil and salt to taste.
Add enough water and knead the dough. Set aside for about 10 minutes. Divide the dough into round portions. Take each portion and coat it with some maida so that it does not stick to your hands. Roll it into a not too thin perfect round. With a pizza cutter, make 2 semi circles with the round. Take one half circles. Dip your index finger into the cold water and apply it to the straight edge of the semi circle. Now hold the semicircle in your hand. Fold the straight edge, bringing together the watered edges. Seal the watered edges.
You should now have a small triangular maida pocket. Stuff it with the potato mixture and now water-seal the upper edges. Repeat for the rest of the dough. Deep fry in oil till golden brown and serve with mint chutney. Do not overheat the oil, since this will cook only the outer maida covering and the inner layer will remain uncooked even if the samosa has turned dark brown
