Peel and cube the russet potatoes into uniform pieces. Boil them in a pot of water until they are soft and easily mashable, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes until they are smooth and have no lumps. Set aside to cool.
Finely chop fresh cilantro and green onions. Add them to the mashed potatoes along with ground white pepper, ground coriander, finely chopped red chili, ground turmeric, and low sodium soy sauce. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Beat the egg in a small dish. Take small portions of the potato mixture and shape them into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.
Dip each patty briefly in the beaten egg to coat lightly.
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Test the oil temperature by dropping a small piece of bread into the pan; it should sizzle immediately.
Once the oil is hot enough, carefully fry the patties in batches. Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the patties from the pan and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the Begedil warm as an appetizer or side dish.
