Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 stalks Spring onions
Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into evenly sized wedges or thick slices.
Step 2
Boil a pot of water and parboil the potato wedges for 5-7 minutes until they are slightly tender but not fully cooked. Drain and let them dry for a few minutes.
Step 3
While the potatoes dry, mince the garlic and finely chop the spring onions.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, add the parboiled potatoes to the skillet in a single layer. Fry them for 8-10 minutes, flipping occasionally, until they are golden and crispy on all sides.
Step 6
Push the potatoes to one side of the skillet, and in the empty space, add the minced garlic and sesame seeds. Stir for 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant and the sesame seeds are lightly toasted.
Step 7
Combine the garlic and sesame seeds with the potatoes and stir well.
Step 8
Add the soy sauce, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly so the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Step 9
Top with chopped spring onions and give it one last stir. Remove from heat.
Step 10
Serve hot and enjoy your crispy Sesame Fried Potatoes!
