Ingredients:
- 4 large potatoes (Russet or any starchy variety)
- 2 tbsp Exotic Bazaar’s Harissa spice blend
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Fresh parsley or coriander, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- Yoghurt or garlic aioli (optional, for dipping)
Instructions for Oven:
-
Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
-
Prepare the potatoes: Wash and peel the potatoes if preferred, then cut them into evenly sized chips. You can choose thick-cut or thinner fries depending on your preference.
-
Season the chips: In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, Exotic Bazaar’s Harissa spice blend, and salt until the chips are evenly coated.
-
Bake the chips: Spread the seasoned chips out on the prepared baking tray in a single layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure both sides get crispy. They’re done when golden brown and crispy on the edges.
-
Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh herbs if using, and serve hot with a dip of your choice.
Instructions for Air Fryer:
-
Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 180°C (350°F).
-
Prepare the potatoes: Wash, peel (optional), and slice the potatoes into chips as above.
-
Season the chips: Toss the potato slices in a bowl with olive oil, Exotic Bazaar’s Harissa spice blend, and salt.
-
Air fry the chips: Arrange the chips in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on your air fryer size, you may need to do this in batches. Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
-
Garnish and serve: Once golden and crispy, sprinkle with fresh parsley or coriander, and enjoy with your favourite dip!
Tips:
- For extra crispiness, soak the potato slices in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning. Pat dry completely before adding the oil and Harissa.
- These Harissa-spiced chips pair perfectly with a cool yoghurt dip or garlic aioli to balance the heat!
