Prepare the Honey Chilli Sauce
Toss and Serve Immediately
Instead of deep-frying, coat the par-boiled potatoes in the batter and bake at 200°C (400°F) for 20-25 minutes or air-fry at 190°C (375°F) for 15-18 minutes, until golden and crisp.
Replace the honey with an equal amount of maple syrup or agave nectar for a completely plant-based version.
Increase the amount of red chilli sauce to 1.5-2 tablespoons and add 1-2 slit green chillies to the sauce for an extra fiery kick.
Add thinly sliced onions, carrots, or different colored bell peppers to the stir-fry for more color, texture, and nutrients.
Potatoes are rich in complex carbohydrates, which are the body's primary source of fuel, providing sustained energy.
Garlic is a key ingredient and contains allicin, a compound known for its potential antibacterial properties and contribution to heart health.
Bell peppers are an excellent source of Vitamin C, an antioxidant that supports the immune system and skin health.
Ginger is well-known for its digestive properties, helping to soothe the stomach and reduce nausea.
The secret is the double-frying method. The first fry at a lower temperature cooks the potato inside, and the second fry at a higher temperature creates a super crispy, golden-brown exterior that holds up better in the sauce.
This dish is best served immediately for maximum crispiness. However, you can par-boil and double-fry the potatoes ahead of time. Store them at room temperature and when ready to serve, quickly make the sauce and toss the potatoes in it.
As a deep-fried dish with added sugars from honey and ketchup, it is considered an indulgent snack rather than a healthy meal. For a healthier version, you can bake or air-fry the potatoes instead of deep-frying.
A typical serving contains approximately 350-450 calories, primarily from the carbohydrates in potatoes, oil absorbed during frying, and sugars in the sauce. The exact amount can vary based on preparation methods.
Yes, it's very easy to make this recipe vegan. Simply substitute the honey with an equal amount of maple syrup or agave nectar. All other ingredients are plant-based.
Starchy potatoes like Russet or Idaho are ideal. They have a low moisture content, which helps them become crispy on the outside while remaining soft and fluffy on the inside after frying.
