Delicious chunky fries made from large russet potatoes and coated with homemade peri peri seasoning. These fries are fried twice for that perfect crispiness and served with a spicy garlic dip.
1: Cut the potatoes lengthways into thick chip size, cut the ends to give a nice square shape.
2: Parboil in a pan of salted water for 7 minutes until just tender. Drain and pat dry.
3: In a mixing bowl add all purpose flour, corn starch, and salt. Mix and sprinkle the flour mixture on potatoes.
4: Fry the chips on a medium/low heat in batches for about 5-7 minutes or until they just start to change colour. Remove onto a kitchen towel and let drain for a few minutes.
5: Just before serving, put the chips back in the hot oil for a second fry. Fry for 2-4 minutes or until they turn nice and golden.
6: For the peri peri seasoning: Measure out all the herbs and spices and add to a pestle and mortar. Mix well.
7: Once you’ve mixed the seasoning, pour it into your clean, dry storage jar and label it.
8: Sprinkle 1/2 tsp peri peri seasoning onto the fries.
9: Serve with spicy garlic dip and enjoy!
