- Add potato fingers and coat well.
Fry the Potatoes
- Heat oil and fry the potatoes on medium flame until half cooked.
- Remove and let them rest for 2 minutes.
- Fry again on high flame for extra crispiness (double frying gives restaurant-style texture).
- Keep aside.
Prepare the Honey Chilli Sauce
- Heat oil in a wok.
- Add garlic and sauté until fragrant.
- Add spring onion whites and capsicum; stir-fry for a minute.
- Add red chilli sauce, soy sauce, ketchup, vinegar, and chilli flakes.
- Pour water and bring to a boil.
- Add cornflour slurry and mix until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
- Lower the flame and add honey.
Toss the Potatoes
- Add the crispy fried potatoes to the sauce.
- Toss gently until all pieces are coated well.

Notes
- Double frying gives the best crunchy texture.

- You can air-fry or bake the potatoes for a healthier version.
