Ingredients:

For Frying the Potatoes:

• 4 medium-sized potatoes, cut into thin strips or wedges
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• Salt to taste
• Oil for deep frying

For the Irresistible Sauce:

• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped ginger
• 2-3 green chilies, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
• 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (mix of red, green, and yellow)
• 3 tablespoons tomato ketchup
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon chili sauce (adjust to taste)
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon vinegar (white or rice vinegar)
• Salt to taste
• Chopped spring onions for garnishing

Instructions:

1. Frying the Perfect Potato Strips:
   • Begin by washing the potato strips under cold water to remove excess starch. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
   • In a mixing bowl, toss the dry potato strips with cornstarch until they are evenly coated.
   • Heat oil in a deep pan or wok over medium-high heat for frying.
   • Gently slide in the coated potato strips and fry them until they transform into golden brown, crispy bites. Fry in batches to ensure they cook evenly.
   • Once done, delicately transfer the fried potatoes onto a plate lined with paper towels. Sprinkle a pinch of salt while they’re still warm for that perfect taste.
2. Crafting the Flavorful Sauce:
   • In a separate pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat.
   • Add the chopped garlic, ginger, and green chilies. Sauté for about a minute, relishing the aroma as they release their flavors.
   • Introduce the diced bell peppers to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they reach a delightful balance of tenderness and crispiness.
   • Infuse the magic by stirring in tomato ketchup, soy sauce, chili sauce, honey, and vinegar. Blend them together, creating a symphony of sweet and spicy notes.
   • Tailor the taste to your liking by adjusting the sweetness, saltiness, and spiciness according to your palate’s preference.
3. Harmonizing Potatoes and Sauce:
   • With a gentle touch, combine the fried potato strips with the sauce in the pan. Gently toss to ensure the potatoes are artfully coated with the flavorful sauce.
   • Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to envelop the potatoes in its enticing embrace.
4. Presentation and Delight:
   • Pause the heat and transfer the enchanting Honey Chilli Potatoes to a serving dish, ready to captivate your senses.
   • Elevate the dish’s appeal by garnishing it with finely chopped spring onions, adding a fresh burst of color and flavor.
