Notes

  • The spice powders measures can be adjusted according to your liking. Add more if you like a more spicy version of potato fry.
  • Once you cut the potatoes, keep in immersed in water so that it doesn't brown.
  • Regular potatoes or even baby potatoes can be used for this recipe.
  • Use a iron kadai or well seasoned pan so that potatoes do not stick.
  • You can even chop the potatoes a bit bigger or the way you like it.
  • This potato fry is mildly spiced as keeping kids in mind, so feel free to increase spice powders according to your liking.
  • I used my iron kadai to roast the potatoes and it worked best.
  • You can even add a pinch of chat masala powder / jeera powder for extra zing.
