Important tip to make chilli potato like the market
It's important to dry the potatoes thoroughly before frying them. This makes them crispier. Add the fried potatoes to the sauce only when it's time to serve. This will prevent them from becoming soggy. You can adjust the amount of chili sauce to suit your taste. Now add the fried potatoes to the prepared sauce and stir quickly over high heat to ensure the sauce coats the potatoes. Garnish with sesame seeds and finely chopped green onions and serve hot.
