To make the perfectly crisp potato fry that does not stick to the pan or become mushy, you need to follow certain steps. Dice the potato that are almost equal size cubes. Wash them thoroughly and soak in salted water for at least 15 mts before you stir fry. Soaking will aid in reducing the starch of the potatoes making them less sticky. You do not need much oil for attaining a crisp potato fry. All you require is a good seasoned iron kadai or a non stick pan, uniformly diced potatoes and soaking them in salted water for few minutes before frying them.
