    Mozambican chips or fries as we call them in the states are a common side dish along side the peri, peri chicken, peri peri shrimp, grilled crustaceans and fish.

    I love fries that are crispy on the outside and light on the inside.  It is easy to achieve if you have a deep fryer.

    Of course fries are delicious alongside just about anything.  Dip them in mayo, ketchup and yes that fiery peri peri sauce for a real treat.

    Make 1 large russet potato per person.  I like to leave the peel on for a homemade looking chip but it is up to you if you want to or not. The russet potato seems to make the best chips/ fries.
