Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 3 medium potatoes peeled and cut into cubes
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch for coating
• 1 cup vegetable oil for frying
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon chili flakes adjust to taste
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar optional for extra tang
• 1 tablespoon water for sauce thinning

Equipment

• Large mixing bowl
• Deep frying pan or wok
• Slotted spoon
• Baking sheet or plate
• Saucepan
• Stirring spoon

Method

 

1. Place peeled and cubed potatoes in a large mixing bowl and toss with cornstarch until evenly coated.
   
2. Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering and hot (around 350°F/175°C).
   
3. Carefully add the coated potato cubes into the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry until they turn golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Use a slotted spoon to remove and drain them on a paper-towel-lined plate.
   
4. In a small saucepan, combine minced garlic, honey, soy sauce, chili flakes, rice vinegar, and water. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
   
5. Reduce heat to low and let the sauce simmer until it thickens slightly and becomes glossy, about 3-4 minutes. The sauce should coat the back of a spoon.
   
6. Add the fried potato cubes into the saucepan with the sauce. Toss gently to ensure all pieces are evenly coated with the glaze.
   
7. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to cling tightly to the crispy potatoes and develop a sticky glaze. Listen for sauce bubbling and see it thickening further.
   
8. Transfer the honey chili potatoes to a serving plate or bowl, arranging them attractively. Garnish with additional chili flakes or chopped herbs if desired.
   

Notes

For extra crispy potatoes, double fry: fry once at lower temperature, remove, then fry again at higher temperature until crispy. Adjust spice level by increasing chili flakes. Serve immediately for best crunch.
