- Fry till the potatoes turn crisp and golden. Make sure to fry well so that the potato cubes are not raw or half cooked from the center.
- Remove with a slotted spoon. place the fried potatoes on kitchen paper towels.
Making aloo chaat

- Also add black salt or white salt as per taste.
- Add the finely chopped mint leaves and coriander leaves.
- At this step you can also add finely chopped green chillies. Note that green chilies give pungent and hot notes while eating. Add only if you can eat raw green chilies.

Notes
- If you like then you can sprinkle some sev (gram flour vermicelli) while serving.

- Recipe can be doubled.
- For the best texture, use starchy potatoes like Russet, Idaho, Maris Piper.
