There’s something universally appealing about crispy potatoes. Whether they’re served as a snack or as a side dish, they’re always a hit. This recipe, Potato Dish with 3 Potatoes!, featuring just a handful of ingredients, proves that simplicity can produce spectacular results.

In this recipe, we’ll walk through each step in detail, so you’ll know exactly how to achieve perfectly crispy potatoes every time.
2. Ingredients and Why They Work
For this recipe, the ingredients are simple but carefully chosen for maximum flavor and texture:
600-700g of Potatoes: Starchy potatoes, such as Russets, work best. They contain less moisture than waxy varieties, which helps them crisp up beautifully.
1/2 teaspoon of Salt: Salt is essential for enhancing the natural flavors of the potatoes.
Chili Powder, to Taste: Chili powder adds a subtle kick. If you prefer a milder taste, you can use smoked paprika or omit it entirely.
2 tablespoons of Parmesan (Optional): Parmesan adds a savory, umami flavor and helps form a crisp crust when mixed with the potato starch.
2 teaspoons of Red Chili Powder: This adds a little more heat, but you can adjust to suit your spice tolerance.
6 tablespoons of Potato Starch: Potato starch is the secret ingredient that ensures each potato slice has a light, crispy exterior.
Parsley for Garnish: Adds a fresh touch that complements the richness of the potatoes.
Mozzarella (Optional): This can add a gooey, cheesy layer, turning the potatoes into a more indulgent treat.
Cooking Oil: Use a neutral oil with a high smoke point, like vegetable or canola oil, to achieve the best fry.
Each ingredient contributes to either the crispiness or the flavor profile, creating a dish that’s not only delicious but also beautifully textured.
