Our current family snack favorite is this quick to make potato sticks. All the recipe needs is potatoes and sauce to dip them in and munch away.

These make great finger food for kids and can be packed as snacks while travelling.

Ingredients

• 2 large potatoes
• oil
• salt
• pepper
• chaat powder (optional)

Method

Cut the potatoes into long vertical strips of 2 – 3 cm thickness.

Heat just enough oil to cover a pan, we don’t need to deep fry the potatoes. Put the potatoes into the oil and cook on high speed till they are light golden on both sides.

Then cover for 3 minutes and cook on low flame till they can be cut with a spoon. Then uncover and cook on high flame till they are light brown and crispy on both sides.

Take off heat and drain excess oil on tissues. Sprinkle salt, pepper and optionally chaat powder on the sticks and mix well.

Serve hot with sauce or coriander chutney.
