Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 stalks Spring onions
Instructions
Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into evenly sized wedges or thick slices.
Boil a pot of water and parboil the potato wedges for 5-7 minutes until they are slightly tender but not fully cooked. Drain and let them dry for a few minutes.
While the potatoes dry, mince the garlic and finely chop the spring onions.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the parboiled potatoes to the skillet in a single layer. Fry them for 8-10 minutes, flipping occasionally, until they are golden and crispy on all sides.
Push the potatoes to one side of the skillet, and in the empty space, add the minced garlic and sesame seeds. Stir for 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant and the sesame seeds are lightly toasted.
Combine the garlic and sesame seeds with the potatoes and stir well.
Add the soy sauce, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly so the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Top with chopped spring onions and give it one last stir. Remove from heat.
Serve hot and enjoy your crispy Sesame Fried Potatoes!
