Ingredients

For the fries:

  • 3–4 Medium potatoes (thinly sliced into fries)
  • 3–4 tbsp Corn starch
  • 1 tsp Paprika powder
  • Oil (for deep frying)

For Spice blend:

  • 1 tsp pink salt
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper
  • ¼–½ tsp Black pepper (to taste)
  • ½ tsp Dried Italian herbs

For Ranch dip:

  • 2 Heaped tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 Heaped tbsp Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice
  • Salt & black pepper (to taste)
  • Fresh or dried dill (optional)

Instructions

  • First, peel (optional) and cut the potatoes into thin, even fry-shaped sticks. Soak them in cold water for 15–20 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps achieve extra crispy masala fries. After soaking, drain completely and pat them very dry using a clean kitchen towel.
  • Next, transfer the dried potato sticks into a large bowl. Add corn starch and paprika powder, then toss thoroughly until every fry is lightly and evenly coated. This coating is the secret to golden, crunchy restaurant-style fries.
  • Heat oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Carefully fry the potatoes in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook until they turn golden brown, crispy on the outside, and fluffy inside. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  • In a small bowl, mix pink salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and dried Italian herbs. Combine well so the seasoning is evenly balanced and aromatic for the ultimate masala fries flavour.
  • Immediately sprinkle the prepared spice mix over the hot fries. Toss quickly and evenly so the seasoning sticks properly. The heat from the fries helps the masala coat beautifully, giving bold street-style flavour in every bite.
  • In a separate bowl, combine mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and dill. Whisk until smooth, creamy, and well blended. Adjust seasoning to taste for a tangy, refreshing ranch dip.
  • Finally, serve the crispy masala fries hot with the chilled ranch dip on the side. Enjoy immediately while the fries are crunchy and the dip is cool and creamy for the perfect contrast.
