Toppings

Method

Preparing the Fries

  1. 1

    Cut the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to resemble fries.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Fry the soaked potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, then season with salt.

Making the Pad Thai Sauce

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small bowl, mix together the fish sauce, tamarind paste, brown sugar, chili powder, and lime juice until well combined.

  2. 6

    Heat the Sauce

    In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the sauce mixture for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Assembling the Dish

  1. 7

    Drizzle the Sauce

    Once the fries are fried and crispy, place them on a serving platter and drizzle the warm Pad Thai sauce over the top.

  2. 8

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle chopped peanuts, fresh cilantro, and green onions over the fries. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
