Hi Jimmy.
I used this recipe. Pretty good but you need to semi freeze the tatties slightly so they keep their shape. Also you need to move them in the oil after only a few seconds so they don't burn on the bottom if your pan isn't deep enough since they are fairly heavy.

Batata....isn't that Portuguese for Potato?

[Mikka1]

Perhaps someone else could better answer that but it does seem to be an Indian local word.
I notice on this site they say Wada means Dumplings which sort of fits?
