Squeezing out excess water helps ensure crispier snacks and prevents the mixture from becoming too wet.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes with cornstarch, all-purpose flour, salt, red chili powder, cumin powder, black pepper, and chopped fresh coriander. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and form a consistent mixture.

The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when a small piece of potato mixture is dropped in, but not smoking.
5
Carefully place the shaped potato snacks into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, which can lower the oil temperature and make the snacks soggy. Fry until they turn golden brown and are crispy on all sides.
