Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Wash and peel the waxy potatoes, then cut them into uniform fingers (1/3-1/2 inch thick and 2-3 inches long).
  2. In a bowl, mix together corn flour, all-purpose flour, chilli powder, garlic paste, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 180°C (about 350°F) and arrange the coated potato fingers inside. Air fry for approximately 4 minutes.
  4. Remove the half-cooked potatoes and place them on a wire rack to cool for a few minutes.
  5. Prepare a batter by mixing all-purpose flour, corn flour, and black pepper in a bowl, then dip each potato finger into it.
  6. Raise the air fryer temperature to 200°C (about 400°F) and fry the battered potatoes for 6-8 minutes until golden brown.
  7. For the sauce, heat a little oil and sauté minced garlic, then add chilli flakes, sesame seeds, vinegar, soy sauce, ketchup, honey, and corn flour slurry.
  8. Toss the crispy potatoes in the honey chilli sauce and garnish with chopped spring onions before serving.
