Spicy Garlic Potato (EXTRA CRISPY Tips!)

Spicy Garlic Potato

If you watch my VLOGS, you will know that I’ve been working on this crispy and spicy garlic potato recipe for two months now, and I am confident that this recipe is now ready to be shared!

EXTRA CRISPY Sichuan Style Spicy Garlic Potato is addicting, savory, and an easy recipe that you need to try.

The potatoes are perfectly crispy on the outside while fluffy and soft on the inside.

The potatoes are then tossed in a savory and spicy seasoning that is super addicting! 

Spicy Garlic Potato

My inspiration for my Spicy Garlic Potato came from these Sichuan-style fries I had in portland.

I have always been such a fan of Sichuan-style spicy and numbing seasoning, and when coated in fries, the fries were super addicting and the perfect dish paired with an ice-cold beer.

I wanted to try the recipe, but instead with potatoes for a more accessible and healthier alternative.

It took me a few months to get the correct seasoning and consistency, but I am excited to share this recipe after SEVERAL attempts! 

Spicy Garlic Potato

Let’s start with the basics and my secret tips for crispy and fluffy Spicy Garlic Potatoes.

  • STEAMING: Steaming the potato prevents them from getting soggy and watery.
    • If you don’t have a steamer, you can also microwave the potato. The goal is to cook the potato while still holding its shape. 
  • TOSSED WITH FAT: Toss the steamed potato with duck fat, butter, or olive oil.
    • Make sure that every piece of potato is coated before pan-frying; this step will help crisp up the edges and ensure every part of the potato becomes crispy. 
  • BE PATIENT: Be patient and let every single side of the potato pan-fry till crispy and golden brown.
    • I like to use chopsticks to ensure every side is pan-fried evenly. Since the potatoes are already 90% cooked from steaming, the focus will be to crisp up the edges.
Salt and Pepper Sichuan Seasoning

I am not lying that the seasoning mix for my Spicy Garlic Potato is SUPER addicting and will be your go-to seasoning mix for fries and potatoes.

The seasoning mix consists of white pepper, salt, ground Sichuan pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, ground chili, ground cumin, and mushroom powder.

If you never tried white pepper before, it is a staple ingredient in Asian cuisine. White pepper is more spicy compare to black pepper, so a little goes a long way!

Another essential ingredient is a mushroom powder; I am using LKK Mushroom Powder which contains MSG, to give you the restaurant-style quality. But you can also grind up dehydrated shiitake mushroom for natural MSG flavors.

Spicy Fried Chicken – Taiwanese Nightmarket Style

About Me
Hi! I am Tiffy and I am a HUGE foodie. I love to cook, I love to eat, and I love sharing what I love with the world.
I was born in Taiwan, a country with some of the best street food in the world. When I think back to my childhood, I remember all the fantastic restaurants my dad brought me to when I was young. You see, my family is also huge foodies; we use to wander around night markets every weekend, skip the last period in class to try out new restaurants, and every summer, we would travel around Taiwan exploring all the new “must try” dishes around the country.
