Boil the potatoes until tender but firm. Let them cool completely, then peel and cut into 1-inch cubes or wedges.
In a large bowl, combine the cornflour, red chili powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, amchur, and salt.
Add the cooled potato pieces to the spice mixture and toss gently until all pieces are evenly coated.
Heat enough oil in a large heavy-bottomed pan or kadai over medium-high heat for shallow or deep frying.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the coated potato pieces in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches if necessary.
Fry for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and deliciously crispy on all sides.
Remove the crispy potatoes with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Garnish with fresh chopped coriander and serve immediately as a snack or a side dish.
For extra flavor, you can squeeze a little fresh lemon juice over them before serving.
