For Homemade Potato Fingers

  • Wash 2-3 times.
  • Drain and dry on a kitchen towel and pat dry.
  • Mix cornstarch, red chilli and salt. Sprinkle cornstarch mix and coat the dried fingers with it.
  • Meanwhile heat oil in a heavy bottomed pan and fry until potatoes are just cooked. These should not start turning golden brown.
  • Take out from oil and keep on paper towel or tissue for extra oil to absorb.
  • Once these are cooled, again coat in cornstarch mix(cornstarch+black pepper+salt) with some red chilli and a pinch of salt. Coat nicely.
  • Heat oil again and fry these in hot oil till light golden brown and crisp. Frying in batches will give you more crispy fries.
