A too-yummy-to-describe creation from the Thai repertoire, Fried Potatoes in Ginger Mushroom Sauce features crisp potato wedges tossed in a saucy base made of pungent ingredients like ginger and garlic together with succulent mushrooms and crunchy veggies.

The vegetables that go in, like onions and capsicum, also do more than add volume to the sauce. They all have distinct flavours, which reflect in the dish. Make sure you serve the Fried Potatoes in Ginger Mushroom Sauce as soon as it is prepared, in order to enjoy the crunch of the veggies and the crispness of the potato wedges.
