Directions
Wash potato fingers in running water and set aside.
First coating
Mix together chili powder, garlic paste, chili paste, corn flour, all purpose flour and salt. Coat the potatoes evenly with this flour mixture. Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer and fry the potatoes in batches until the potato is half cooked. Make sure you place one potato in to the hot oil at a time so they don't stick together. Remove the potatoes from the oil and set on a plate lined with towels.
Second Coating
Mix together flour, corn flour, black pepper and water until you have a medium thick batter.
Dip the half cooked fries in the batter and fry again in small batches until potatoes are crisp and golden. Drain on a paper lined plate and keep aside.
For the Sauce
Heat 2 T. oil in a wok or saucepan and add chopped garlic and fry for a few seconds. Add chili flakes and sesame seeds for another minute until toasted. Add vinegar, soy sauce, ketchup, honey, and red chili paste and stir until combined. Mix corn flour and water to make a slurry and add this to the mixture until it thickens.
Add the fries into the sauce in the wok and add the green onions. Toss together until the fries are coated evenly in the sauce. Remove the fries into a bowl and garnish with more sesame seeds and green onions.
Enjoy! Lick your fingers clean.
