Ingredients
Potatoes
- 500 gm Potatoes
Sauce
- 2 Chillies finely chopped, green
- 3.5 clove Garlic finely chopped
- 1 Tbsp Vinegar
- 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Tomato Sauce
- 2 Tbsp Honey
- 2 tsp Chili Flakes
Other Ingredients
- 2.5 Tbsp Corn Flour
- Refined Oil for frying
- 2 Tbsp Sesame Seeds
- Spring Onions chopped
- 1.5 tsp Salt or as per taste
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.
