How to Make Honey Chilli Potato Recipe (Step by step)
Step 1: Prepping the Potatoes
- Peel and Cut: start by peeling your potatoes and then cutting them into thin fries/thick wedges. Put them in cold water for 20 minutes to remove some of the starch. Alright now make some fries like a boss you guy, this ensures the fries become that extra crispy.
- boil the potatoes after washing them: once washed, strain the water and then try slightly boiling the potatoes. Boil until just tender, 3-4 minutes. Don’t cook to them to death as we would like the firm flesh of them to remain. Once done, drain and place on a kitchen paper to absorb excess oil.
- Toss in flour: Whisk cornstarch, all-purpose, and salt and pepper in a bowl. Toss the potatoes with this mix so that each piece is well coated. This is what makes them crispy and golden brown.
- Deep frying: add the oil in a frying pan or deep friyers. When hot, fry small batches of potato fingers until they are crisp and golden. Drain onto a paper towel to remove excess oil.
Step 2: Preparation of Sweet and Spicy Sauce
- Sauté the ginger, garlic and spring onion: Heat 2 Tbsp oil in a wok or large frying pan. Put the chopped garlic and ginger as fine as you can get them first, without turning to a tip paste. Sauté until golden on medium dose heat. This will take less than a minute.
- Prep the stir-fry veggies: Sliced onions, green and red bell peppers and some last-minute addition of green chilies. Stir-fry: 2-3 min at high heat, so the vegetables soften a little and still stay crunchy.
- Prepare sauce: Reduce the flame and add soy sauce, tomato ketchup, red chili sauce to the veggies. Mix them thoroughly so that the sauces get mixed well with the veggies.
- Honey and vinegar: Drizzle the honey over the sauce mixture and add vinegar. Honey imparts a slightly sweet flavor, and the vinegar adds a hint of tang that really makes even the most ordinary dish a star! Mix everything and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Step 3: Mixing them all together
- Toss with potatoes: Finally, Tumble those tender and crispy fingers into your pan which contains the tangy tomato gravy. Toss everything gently together, such that each piece of potato is coated very well with the sweet spicy sauce.
- Garnish: Sesame seeds and soy sauce, fresh spring onion complement the flavor and texture.
