French fries with peri-peri sauce

Instructions

1. Prepare the potatoes: Peel the potatoes if desired, cut them into thin strips, and soak them in cold water for 20–30 minutes.

2. Dry thoroughly: Drain and pat the potatoes dry with a clean towel.

3. Fry until crispy: Fry in hot oil at approximately 175°C until golden and crunchy. Drain on paper towels.

4. Make the sauce: Blend the chili peppers, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, paprika, and salt until smooth.

5. Season and serve: Sprinkle the fries with salt, paprika, and garlic powder. Serve with the homemade peri-peri sauce for dipping.

Tips for the best fries

• Soak the potatoes to remove excess starch.

• Double-fry for extra crunch: first at a lower temperature, then at a higher temperature.

• Adjust the chili peppers to control the heat.

• Serve immediately while the fries are hot and crispy.
