Crispy Potato Fry/ Peri Peri Potato Wedges Recipe with Peri Peri sauce

Piri Piri Sauce And Peri Peri Potato Wedges/ Potato Crisps

Piri Piri sauce is made with piri piri chillies which is also known as peri peri sauce.They can be made with normal chillies but piri piri chillies give exact taste.You can use them over anything as you like. Throw it over potatoes,meat,any veggies or serve them as a dip. They taste spicy and you can make them super spicy if you want.

These fried potato wedges tastes like spiced french fries.All you need is some dry chillies, garlic, parsley/coriander leaves and some lime juice. With additional ingredients you can make plenty variations.

Add any of these in addition if you want some modifications: capsicum,ginger,oregano,pepper, onion,different chillies,smoked capsicum,different oils or simply give the basic sauce a saute. These are just a few ideas for modification and they taste awesome with everything.I have added the sauce recipe.
