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
Directions
Step 1
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into even-sized, thick strips to make your chips.
Step 2
Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes. This will help to remove excess starch and result in crispier chips.
Step 3
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly using a clean kitchen towel.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer over medium-high heat until it reaches about 180°C (350°F).
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Serve the peri peri chips immediately as a spicy and flavorful side dish or snack.
