Fried potatoes with onions, bell peppers in a sweet and spicy sauce that is incredibly delicious.
Chili Potatoes are a very popular Indo-Chinese dish, its is a combination of Asian and Indian flavors combined together to form this incredibly delicious dish. For this recipe, I used a Sweet Chili paste to give it a sweet and spicy taste. I added sliced red bell peppers, sliced green bell pepper, sliced red onions, cilantro, sesame seeds and a squeeze of lime and it was just the perfect combination.
You can simply enjoy these Sweet Chili Potatoes as a snack or as a meal, maybe have it with naan or pita bread and call it lunch. For this particular recipe I used a Sweet Chili sauce along with Chili garlic sauce to give it more kick. However, you can always adjust the spiciness to your liking, so start of by adding lesser of the garlic chili sauce until it is to your liking.
Tip 1 : Soak the potatoes for about 30 minutes before frying to get a more crisper potato.
Tip 2: Lightly salt your potatoes since the sauces contain salt, you do not want it to be salty.
