Make this tasty side dish with this highly recommended corn starch that Amazon reviewers swear by!

The smaller the chunks the crunchier they turn out. If you want you can cut them into thin slices like fries, i don't mind the shape as long as they turn out amazingly crispy and tasty.

They have texture crispy and crunchy from outside and soft from inside. I love to top them with some cheese, sliced jalapenos and chili flakes. Serve with your favorite dip or all time favorite ketchup.

I used salt,pepper and red chili powder while coating potatoes in cornflour/cornstarch. You can twist and try with spices of your choice.

Instructions

First wash and cut the potato into small chunks/ thin slices.
Soak the potato chunks in cold water so that they don't turn brown.
Then strain well using a strainer. You don't need to pat dry the potatoes . They should be little wet so that the cornflour sticks well.
Add cornflour/cornstarch , salt and all the spices and coat potatoes well. Use more or less cornflour/cornstarch. depending on the size of potatoes.
Heat oil/butter in a pan and tilt the pan to grease the whole pan with oil/butter. Heat should be medium.
Add potatoes in single layer . Wide pan works best for this recipe.
Then cover and cook the potatoes for 5 minutes.
Then after 5 minutes flip them and again cook for 2-3 minutes
After that turn the heat to high and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Flip in between to cook evenly.
When they are done, nice and crisp from outside and nicely cooked from inside top with some cheese,sliced jalapenos and chili flakes. Serve hot with dip of your choice.

  Hello ma'am
  
  Cornflour is nothing but cornstarch. I will also write cornstarch in the recipe so people get it. Thank you for drawing my attention.

  You can find it in any grocery store. It’s on the baking aisle. Look for corn starch

  well, you really want cornstarch for this. that's the starch of corn processed out of the kernels. corn flour is finely ground cork kernels, about the grind of wheat flour, also know as masa. cornmeal is a coarser grind than corn flour, also known as polenta.

  Look in the Mexican area, or try the baking area, but it’s called Mesa, it’s corn flour. It is not corn star starch, BIG DIFFERENCE. Corn starch is the starch part of the corn. “In the United States, corn flour refers to finely ground powder from whole corn kernels. Meanwhile, cornstarch is a fine powder as well, but made only from the starchy part of corn.”

  Hello Ma'am
  
  I have never tried this in oven..but I think you can cook this recipe in oven.
  
  But you have to make a few changes like potatoes should be completely dry before coating and add cornstarch,spices and oil while coating the potatoes.Bake them at around 425F for 25-30 minutes And you have to flip them in between too.
  
  Hope this helps you.

  I was thinking of trying this in my air fryer by drying the potatoes, tossing them with the oil and then coating with the cornstarch and seasoning.
