A delicious recipe for crispy spiced baby potatoes, perfect as a snack or side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound baby potatoes
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2–3 cups oil for frying
- ¼ teaspoon coriander powder
- ⅛ teaspoon turmeric powder
- ¼ teaspoon red chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon dry mango powder (amchoor)
- ¼ teaspoon roasted cumin powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Mix coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, dry mango powder, cumin powder, and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
- Wash baby potatoes and peel them using a vegetable peeler. Or else, peel the regular potatoes and cut them into ½-inch thick slices.
- Transfer the peeled potatoes to a large bowl filled with water. Add salt to the bowl and mix gently. Let the potatoes sit in salty water for 10 minutes.
- Drain the water.
- Heat 2-3 cups of oil in a pan over high heat.
- When the oil is nicely hot, add ½ of the potatoes to the pan and fry them for 2 minutes. Stir frequently while frying.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Fry for 4-5 minutes or until potatoes are cooked through.
- Drain the half-fried potatoes in a bowl.
- Fry the remaining half similarly and drain in the bowl. Switch off the heat.
- Transfer the half fried potatoes to a wooden chopping board. Press each of them gently using a potato masher.
- Keep the pan with the oil back on the heat and heat over high heat until the oil is very hot.
- Drop half of the potatoes again in the hot oil and fry until crispy and golden brown.
- Drain in a bowl.
- Sprinkle ½ of the spice mix over the hot potatoes and mix well.
- Serve immediately.
- Repeat the process with the remaining half.
Notes
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying for the best texture.
- Feel free to adjust the spice levels according to your preference.
