Instructions
 

  • Wash and peel the potatoes. In a pan, heat 5 cups of water with a pinch of salt. Once boiling, add the potatoes and simmer until slightly softened. This parboiling ensures the potatoes cook evenly and creates a fluffy interior. Drain the potatoes and set aside.
  • In a bowl, combine the chili flakes, salt, and cornstarch. Add the parboiled potatoes and toss until evenly coated. The cornstarch creates a crispy exterior when fried.

  • Heat refined oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Deep-fry the potatoes until golden brown and crispy. Double fry for extra crispiness if desired. This achieves the perfect crunchy texture.

  • Remove the fried potatoes and place them on absorbent paper to drain excess oil. In the same pan, heat a little oil. Add chopped garlic and green chilies, sautéing until fragrant. Add sesame seeds, vinegar, soy sauce, tomato sauce, and salt. Cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  • Add the crispy potatoes to the sauce, tossing gently to coat. Drizzle honey over the potatoes for a touch of sweetness and a glossy finish. Garnish with chopped spring onions for a fresh, vibrant touch.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

  • For extra crispiness, double-fry the potato fingers: fry them once until pale golden, let them cool, then fry again until deep golden and very crunchy before tossing in the sauce.
  • If you prefer a smokier flavor, briefly stir-fry the finished potatoes in a hot wok after adding the sauce, allowing some of the sauce to caramelize and cling to the potatoes.
  • For a fun variation, try adding thinly sliced bell peppers or spring onions with the sauce to bring additional color, crunch, and freshness to the dish.
  • To keep the potatoes crispy for longer, toss them in the sauce just before serving.

Expert Tips

  • Ensure your potatoes are dry before frying to maximize crispiness. Pat them thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess moisture.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying. Frying in batches ensures even cooking and optimal crispiness.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of chili flakes or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the stir-fry sauce.

Storage Instructions

  • If preparing ahead, store fried potatoes and sauce separately.
  • Reheat the potatoes and combine with the sauce quickly in a hot wok before serving.
