Potatoes are irresistible..and potato fries are sinfully delicious. I sincerely believe 'potatoes' can bring world peace. Well! Even you will talk about the blissfulness of crispy on the outside and super soft on the inside potatoes once you try this out. This is a no-strain easy-breezy recipe that will definitely work like a charm. Are you ready to experience the taste?
Ingredients
serves 2 (for one serving)
2 large potatoes (any type of potato you have)
6 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp cornstarch/cornflour
1 tsp regular salt
1 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
How to make it
- Bring a saucepan with 4 cups water to a boil. Scrub the potatoes clean (don't peel) and insert into the boiling water. Or, cut the potatoes into wedges without peeling the skin and put them in the boiling water(This is what I did). Simmer and let the potatoes par-boil. It usually takes me 10-12 mins. When a knife is inserted it should go in without effort but make sure the potatoes don't become cooked soft or mushy. Remove from water and let it cool on a plate.
- Transfer the potato wedges into a large bowl. Pour in the olive oil and add all other ingredients into the bowl. Mix gently until well combines. I did this step by hand, rubbing all the ingredients gently into the potato pieces. Crack some pepper on top again if you'd like once you are done mixing.
- Lay the pieces on a baking tray (I used aluminum foil to line the baking tray) without overlapping. If your baking tray is small, bake in two batches but make sure that you line the potato wedges in a single layer.
- Bake in the pre-heated oven(200C/390F) for 30-40 mins until the wedges are golden brown and crisp on the outside. It may be a good idea to turn the baking tray around once during baking so that all the pieces get uniform heat, more or less.
Serve it with hot ketchup.
