What is the Best Method for Cooking Masala Fries?

There are several ways you could prepare this recipe, but my favorite method is using the airfryer. However, if you don’t have an airfryer, another option is using your oven on the convection setting.

But, if you plan on deep-frying your potatoes, make sure to fry the potatoes first and then sprinkle the mixed seasoning on top. This is because, if you add the seasoning before deep-frying, it will fall off in the oil.
