Notes

Note 1 – You can use any variety of potatoes that you like, but a good choice is red potatoes. Depending on personal preference you may also choose to leave the skins of the potatoes on.
Note 2 – Ensure that the oil is not too hot or too cold. When you add the potato the oil should bubble slightly.
Note 3 – You could use garlic paste instead, but it is better to use fresh garlic as it enhances the flavour.
