Instructions

Wash the potatoes thoroughly. Peel them if desired.
Thinly slice the potatoes crosswise into rounds about ⅛-inch thick. Using a sharp knife or mandoline will ensure even slices, which cook uniformly.
Thread the potato slices onto the skewers, leaving a small gap between each slice to allow for even cooking and crisping.
In a mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, salt, and black pepper.
Gradually whisk in the water until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be thin enough to coat the potatoes but not too watery.
Heat the oil in a deep pot or wok over medium-high heat. The oil is ready when a small drop of batter sizzles immediately.
Dip each potato skewer into the batter, ensuring all sides are coated.
Carefully place the battered skewers into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pot. Fry in batches if necessary.
Deep-fry the skewers, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Turning ensures even browning.
Remove the skewers from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the Crispy Spiralized Potato Skewers immediately while hot. They are best enjoyed fresh for optimal crispiness.
These skewers pair perfectly with a cup of chai or your favorite dipping sauce.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

Before inserting potatoes in skewers, rub a drop of oil on the skewers. This will make it easier to insert the potatoes.
For an extra flavor boost, sprinkle chaat masala or amchur (dried mango powder) over the potatoes immediately after frying for a tangy, street-food style twist.
If you prefer a gluten-free option, ensure your rice flour is certified gluten-free and consider adding a bit of cornstarch for even crispier results.
To create impressive spiral or twisted shapes, use a sharp knife to carefully cut the potato while it's skewered, then gently stretch it along the skewer before coating and frying.
Leftover crispy spring potatoes can be reheated in an air fryer or oven at 180°C (350°F) for 5-7 minutes to restore their crunch without making them greasy.

Expert Tips

Soak the potatoes in cold water for about 30 minutes before skewering and frying. This helps remove excess starch and results in crispier potatoes.
Don't overcrowd the pan while frying. Fry the potatoes in batches to ensure even cooking and optimal crispiness.
For a healthier version, try baking the coated potatoes in a preheated oven instead of deep frying. Adjust cooking time as needed.

Storage Instructions

These crispy potatoes are best enjoyed immediately after frying.
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a day. Reheat in an air fryer or oven for best results.
