10. Now remove the extra oil from the same wok and leave one and half tbsp oil. Add onions and stir fry for a minute. Now add green chilies and ginger, and stir fry for a few seconds.
11. Now add fried potatoes. And also add tomato ketchup, soy sauce, brown vinegar, salt, honey / sugar, and red chili powder. Toss well the potatoes in the flavoring. Add half of the spring onion. Toss again. Turn off the heat.

Crispy Chili Potatoes are ready to serve. Garnish the potatoes with spring onions.

If you eat garlic, add in garlic first , before frying the onions.

Increase the amount of chili as per taste.

For deep frying, I avoid filling the skillet with oil as repeated use of fried oil is unhealthy.
