Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Spicy Potatoes:
- For extra crispy potatoes, pat them dry thoroughly after boiling.
- Adjust the amount of chili powder to control the spice level according to your preference.
- Adding a pinch of garam masala at the end enhances the flavor profile further.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor; reheating may make the potatoes slightly soggy.
