Triangle Boiled Potatoes Fries
By first boiling the potatoes and adding seasonings you achieve a soft, flavorful and fluffy interior, which contrasts perfectly with a crispy exterior when fried. These boiled potato French fries are incredibly crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and can be enjoyed as a snack or side dish with any meal!
Equipment
- 1 PAN
- 1 Pot
- 1 Potato masher
Ingredients
- 2 Large Potatoes
- Salt
- 1/2 Teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Teaspoon Red chilli powder
- 1/2 Teaspoon turmeric powder
- 2-3 Tablespoons Cornflour
- Vegetable oil
Instructions
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into long, evenly-sized strips.
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil, and add a pinch of salt. Now add the potatoes and cook until they are fully cooked, so you can mash them very well.
- Take a mixing bowl and mash the potatoes with the help of a potato masher. Now add salt (to taste), 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp red chilli powder, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder and 2-3 tbsp cornflour (for extra crispiness).
- Place the dough on a flat surface and roll it. Now with the help of a pizza cutter cut it in so many triangle shapes.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pan over medium heat. Fry the potato tringles in batches for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Once fried, remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with your favourite dipping sauce!
Notes
- For the best texture, use starchy potatoes like Russets
- Mash potatoes well
- For even crispier fries, you can fry them twice.
- You can experiment with different seasonings.
