Indian Spiced Baked Potato Sticks
- 1 large russet potato (about 10 oz)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or ghee or melted butter)
- 14 teaspoon turmeric (more to taste)
- 14 teaspoon chili powder (more to taste)
- 12 teaspoon curry leaf (if you don't have them, punt or just leave them out)
- 12 teaspoon kosher salt
- Pre-heat oven to 400F.
- Wash and dry the potato.
- Peel the potato if you like.
- I leave the skin on because I like the texture and nutrients.
- Slice the potato into 1/8th inch thick slices lengthwise using a mandolin or a large, sharp knife.
- Stack up the slices, and cut them lengthwise to form thin sticks.
- Place the potato sticks on a kitchen towel, and gently pat dry.
- In a bowl, whisk together the ghee or melted butter or oil, turmeric, chili powder, curry leaves and salt.
- Add the potato sticks to the bowl and toss well.
- Place the seasoned potato sticks on a non-stick baking sheet or a regular baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silpat.
- Spread them they are in a single layer and dont overlap.
- Bake for 10 minutes or till the chips are golden and crisp.
- Halfway through baking, check on the chips, and remove any pieces that are already crispy and golden.
- Rotate the baking sheet and continue baking until done.
