Notes
- Always fry the potatoes in batches. The potatoes should be crisp and golden color.
- Don't make a too thick batter and coating, the coating should be mild on the potatoes.
- If you have onion powder you can add it in the mayo sauce, I didnt have so added raw onion while serving.
- Garlic powder is must in this recipe so don't skip it. I don't have garlic powder so while preparing mayonnaice added 5-6 garlic pods to get nice flavor
- Adjust all the spice powders according to your taste and preferences.
