Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes
- Cut potatoes into 1-inch thick wedges. Pat them dry with paper towels to ensure extra crispiness.

Combine and Season

Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Extra Crispy Potatoes:
- Pat those potatoes dry! Excess moisture is the enemy of crispiness. Make sure your potatoes are completely dry before frying.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. Frying in batches ensures even browning and maximum crispiness.
- Adjust the spice level. Feel free to adjust the amount of red chili powder to suit your taste preferences. Start with less and add more as needed.
- Serve immediately. These potatoes are best enjoyed fresh out of the wok, while they're still hot and crispy.
