Spicy Peri Peri French Fries

Instructions

1. 1

   Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to form fries.

2. 2

   Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 20 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry with a kitchen towel.

3. 3

   Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F) or heat oil in a deep fryer to 180°C (356°F) if frying.

4. 4

   In a large bowl, toss the potato strips with olive oil, peri peri powder, and chili flakes until evenly coated.

5. 5

   Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking tray lined with parchment paper (if baking), or carefully add them to the hot oil (if frying).

6. 6

   Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy. If frying, cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown, then drain on paper towels.

7. 7

   Transfer the hot fries to a serving bowl and sprinkle with chopped spring onion.

8. 8

   Serve immediately and enjoy your Spicy Peri Peri French Fries!
