Tasty crispy potato home fries :D


Here's another quick & easy recipe that makes a perfect side dish or a great snack. : )


Home Fries Recipe -


Ingredients:
6 medium sized Potatoes
Oil for cooking

Natural Coyo yoghurt - To serve
Sweet chilli sauce - To serve


Method:
1. Wash & dry the potatoes & remove any blemishes, but leave as much of the skins on as possible.
2. Steam the potatoes whole until they are just cooked, but NOT mushy, you can do this on the stove or in the microwave (many microwaves have a 'jacket potato' setting under 'vegetables') You can check the potatoes with a bamboo skewer, when it pokes through the middle of the potato they're done! ; )
3. Allow the potatoes to sit & cool for 10-15 minutes to reduce crumbling when cutting them up.
4. Once the potatoes have cooled a little, carefully cut them into wedges or chunks, don't cut them too small though or they're more likely to crumble, then allow them to sit for another 10-15 minutes to cool a bit more before frying.
5. Add a light coating of oil to a heavy based skillet & put it on medium heat. Once the pan has heated up a bit add the potato wedges (depending on the size of your skillet you may need to fry them in batches) DO NOT stir the potato wedges or they may crumble, spread them out carefully & leave them to fry for a good 5 minutes, or until golden.
6. Carefully turn the chips (I just scoop & flip using a spatula) & add oil as needed. Continue this process until the chips are crispy & golden all over :D


Serve with the yoghurt & sweet chilli sauce, or any way you please.
