Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 500 ml Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into even-sized, thick strips to make your chips.
Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes. This will help to remove excess starch and result in crispier chips.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly using a clean kitchen towel.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer over medium-high heat until it reaches about 180°C (350°F).
Fry the chips in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot, for about 5-6 minutes or until they begin to turn golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Increase the oil temperature to about 190°C (375°F). Fry the chips again for another 1-2 minutes or until they are crisp and golden brown. Drain once more on paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano.
Place the hot chips in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, then sprinkle with the spice mix. Toss well to ensure the chips are evenly coated.
Serve the peri peri chips immediately as a spicy and flavorful side dish or snack.
