Salsa is fresher and lower in sugar.

Finely chop fresh coriander leaves.

Chop a few parsley leaves.

Chop one green chili.

Peel and grate three large boiled potatoes using the thick side of the grater.

Transfer the grated potatoes to a plate.

Add chopped coriander, parsley, and green chili to the grated potatoes.

Season the potato mix with 1 tbsp garlic salt, chili flakes, and 0.5 tbsp red chili powder.

Add 4 tbsp of corn starch to the mixture and mix everything really well until it starts to come together like a soft dough.

Add 2 tbsp of oil (regular cooking oil, olive oil, or butter) to the dough and mix.

Take a Ziploc bag or thick plastic sheet and place the dough inside.

Press the dough down with your hands to form a flat square shape.

Fold the open edges of the bag inwards for a clean side.

Use a rolling pin to roll over the dough and smoothen it out completely.

Place the flattened dough in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes to set.

Once chilled, cut the plastic bag in half using a knife and open both sides to reveal the potato sheet.

Slice the potato sheet into strips using a pizza cutter, adjusting thickness as desired.

Lightly grease the base of the air fryer.

Place the fries in the air fryer.

Set the air fryer to 180° for around 10 to 12 minutes, flipping them once in between for even cooking.

Remove the fries from the air fryer once golden and crispy.
