Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Potatoes (medium-sized, peeled and cut into wedges)
- 4 cloves Garlic (finely minced)
- 2 teaspoons Red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Tomato ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 4 tablespoons Water
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro or scallions (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and cut the potatoes into wedges or thick strips, then rinse under cold water to remove excess starch.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to make a slurry. Toss the potato wedges in the slurry until evenly coated.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the potato wedges in batches until golden and crispy (about 5 minutes per batch). Remove the potatoes and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.
In a separate pan, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Reduce the heat to low and add the red chili flakes, soy sauce, tomato ketchup, honey, and 2 tablespoons of water to the pan. Stir to combine and let the sauce simmer for 2 minutes.
Add the fried potato wedges to the pan and toss them in the garlic chili sauce until well-coated.
Adjust salt to taste, if necessary. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to ensure the potatoes absorb the flavors.
Transfer the Garlic Chili Potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped cilantro or scallions.
Serve immediately as a snack, appetizer, or side dish!
