King of Fries - Potato is yummy in any way, shape or form! It’s such a quick treat; you don’t need an actual recipe – just potatoes & oil in a hot pan, makes a fry. Not a big deal! Well, I wanted to come up with a HEALTHIFIED version, by minimizing the oil. And it did turn out Very Crispy!!! Try it out.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb potatoes (I used yellow & purple fingerling potatoes)
- Salt, turmeric powder, Chilli powder – to taste
- 1-2 tsp of oil
Pressure cook or microwave whole potatoes till just cooked. Use less water when pressure cooking, to avoid soggy potatoes. Cool completely before peeling & cubing, to retain the shape, as hot potatoes break easily.
Toss in the remaining ingredients and let them sit for 1/2 hour.
Toss in the remaining ingredients and let them sit for 1/2 hour.
Set the oven to Broil-high. (about 500 degrees F). Spread the potatoes in a cookie sheet and place it in the second rack. (Avoid using aluminum foil or any kind of trays - they do not distribute heat evenly, so the potatoes don't get as crispy- flatter sheets give better crunch)
Broil for 15 min, turning twice in between.
Turn off the oven and let it sit in, until ready to serve, (upto 1/2 hour) to keep the potatoes hot and crispy.
Variations: Try adding 1/2 tsp of garlic powder for a slightly different taste.
Tips: Storing in a covered dish immediately, makes them soft.
