In this recipe, we’ll walk through each step in detail, so you’ll know exactly how to achieve perfectly crispy potatoes every time.
- Ingredients and Why They Work
For this recipe, the ingredients are simple but carefully chosen for maximum flavor and texture:
600-700g of Potatoes: Starchy potatoes, such as Russets, work best. They contain less moisture than waxy varieties, which helps them crisp up beautifully.
1/2 teaspoon of Salt: Salt is essential for enhancing the natural flavors of the potatoes.
Chili Powder, to Taste: Chili powder adds a subtle kick. If you prefer a milder taste, you can use smoked paprika or omit it entirely.
2 tablespoons of Parmesan (Optional): Parmesan adds a savory, umami flavor and helps form a crisp crust when mixed with the potato starch.
2 teaspoons of Red Chili Powder: This adds a little more heat, but you can adjust to suit your spice tolerance.
6 tablespoons of Potato Starch: Potato starch is the secret ingredient that ensures each potato slice has a light, crispy exterior.
Parsley for Garnish: Adds a fresh touch that complements the richness of the potatoes.
Mozzarella (Optional): This can add a gooey, cheesy layer, turning the potatoes into a more indulgent treat.
Cooking Oil: Use a neutral oil with a high smoke point, like vegetable or canola oil, to achieve the best fry.
Each ingredient contributes to either the crispiness or the flavor profile, creating a dish that’s not only delicious but also beautifully textured.
