Batatas: Portuguese Spiced Potato Balls in London, Ontario

(29 reviews)

Batatas are our spiced potato balls: seasoned potato rolled and cooked until the outside turns crisp and golden while the centre stays soft and fluffy. They are the small Portuguese side that makes a chicken order feel complete, and they disappear fastest when the table is sharing.

About Our Batatas Spiced Potato Balls

Seasoning is what separates batatas from an ordinary potato side. Ours are spiced through, not just salted on the surface, so each ball carries flavour on its own – then dipping them in mild or spicy piri piri sauce takes them somewhere else entirely.

Order them as a starter while the rotisserie finishes your chicken, or as one of the sides on a half chicken platter. They also travel better than most fried sides, which makes them a smart add-on for takeout across downtown London.

“Finally a place downtown that does Portuguese-style chicken right. The piri piri poutine and mac and cheese were delicious, and the staff checked on us several times.”

“Amazing flavour and great portions. We ordered a family full chicken special and there was more than enough for everyone. The sides like rice and fries were fresh, and the chicken was moist, not dry.”
