Ingredients
For the Chips
- 7 medium Potatoes russet or yukon gold recommended, about the same size
- 1 cup Rice Flour
- 1/2 tsp Chili Powder red
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
- 2 cup Vegetable Oil or enough for frying
Optional Garnish
- 1 tbsp Chaat Masala for extra flavor
Instructions
Preparation
- Peel the potatoes and cut them lengthwise into approximately 1/4-inch thick slices.
- Parboil the potato slices in salted boiling water for about 5-7 minutes, until slightly softened but not mushy. Drain well and set aside to cool.
Coating and Freezing
- In a large bowl, combine the rice flour, red chili powder, and salt.
- Toss the parboiled potato slices in the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 15 minutes, or until firm.
Frying
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Carefully add the frozen potato slices to the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the chips from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serving
- Sprinkle the crispy potato and rice chips with chaat masala (optional).
- Serve warm with tea or coffee.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Little Finger Chips
- For extra crispy chips, ensure the potatoes are completely dry before coating them in the flour mixture. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel if needed.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying. Working in batches ensures even cooking and prevents the chips from becoming soggy.
- Adjust the amount of chili powder to your liking. Start with less and add more if you prefer a spicier chip.
- Experiment with different seasonings! Try adding other spices like garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika for a unique flavor profile.
