Peri Peri Crispy Fries Recipe

Peri peri, the right way

The trick to great peri peri fries isn't a heavy sauce — it's a dry seasoning that grips a properly crisp fry. Our 9mm cut, straight from the blast freezer, is built for exactly this.

Ingredients (serves 2)

• 400g The Nilgiri Root Classic Cut 9mm fries
• 1.5 tsp peri peri seasoning
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• A pinch of salt (taste your seasoning first)
• 1 tsp finely chopped parsley (optional)
• Lime wedges, to serve

Method

1. Cook the fries from frozen until they're a deep, even golden colour.
2. While hot, tip them into a large bowl.
3. Combine peri peri, paprika, garlic powder and salt; sprinkle over the fries.
4. Toss gently — you want every fry coated, not bruised.
5. Finish with parsley and serve with lime wedges and your favourite dip.

Serving suggestion

Pair with a cool yogurt and mint dip to balance the heat. Great alongside grilled chicken or as a standalone snack with a cold drink.
