🔪 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Bake the potatoes
   Preheat your oven or toaster oven to 425°F. In a shallow small baking pan, coat halved potatoes with 1 Tbsp avocado oil. Bake for about 18 minutes, until edges are golden brown and just starting to crisp.
2. Season & pan-fry
   Transfer potatoes to a frying pan. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and 2 Tbsp flour (or corn flour). Add a splash of avocado oil and fry over medium-high heat, turning potatoes, until they’re crispy.
3. Add the sweet chili sauce
   In a small bowl, whisk together sauce ingredients—garlic powder, vinegar, soy sauce, ketchup, honey, chili sauce, and chili flakes—until smooth. Pour over crispy potatoes in the pan, tossing to coat evenly. Cook for about 3 minutes until the sauce becomes sticky and delicious.
4. Plate & garnish
   Transfer to a serving plate. Sprinkle with 2 Tbsp chopped green onion and 2 Tbsp sesame seeds. Serve hot!

❓ FAQs

Can I bake instead of fry?
Yes! For a lighter version, toss the baked potatoes with sauce and roast for 3–4 more minutes to caramelize.

Can I use frozen fries or wedges?
Absolutely! Use oven-baked fries and skip the baking step.

Is corn flour the same as cornstarch?
Yes! Both work for coating the potatoes (or use corn starch).

Can I adjust sweetness or spice?
Yes! Adjust honey to make it sweeter, or dial back chili flakes for milder heat.
