far out fries
This is one of those { silly but yummy } dishes I came up with about a year ago. You can use any fresh medium/hot peppers you like. Normally I would do 2 medium size potatoes instead of 3, but since I one small one left I thought I might as well use it up. I served these with buffalo cheddar burgers on ciabatta rolls. NOTE: WHEN WORKING WITH ANY TYPE OF HOT PEPPERS EITHER WEAR KITCHEN SAFE GLOVES, OR WASH YOUR HANDS RIGHT AFTER TOUCHING THEM.

How To Make far out fries
-
1Slice the Anaheim peppers into rings. -
2Finely chop the habanero { as small as you can chop this }.
-
3Wash the potatoes { leave whole } and unpeeled.
-
4Early in the morning { or better yet do this the day before } put the potatoes in a pot large enough to hold them, and pour the stock over them.
-
5Sprinkle with the salt and pepper and dot with butter.
-
6Add the sliced Anaheim peppers and the habanero.
-
7Cook covered on a low heat { you don’t want the stock to evaporate before the potatoes are done } till the potatoes are soft. When they are done remove them from the remaining stock, do not discard the stock or peppers.
-
8Set aside the cooked stock and peppers or if you do this the day before put the stock and peppers into containers and refrigerate.
-
9When you are ready to make them, slice the cold potatoes into fries.
-
10At this point you have { 2 } options on how to get them crisp. 1.Get the oil hot and fry as you normally would. While the fries are cooking, put a small amount of the broth into a small pot and get the peppers hot, cook them on a low heat, once the fries are done, drain the peppers and top the fries with them. 2.Place the fries on a baking sheet and chop the peppers and put them on top of the fries, bake them in a hot oven 375/400 till they are golden and crisp. They will be beautiful and crisp on the bottoms, if you use this method; you can spray them with the Pam or toss the cut potatoes in wee bit O oil first. Season with a bit more salt while they are still hot.
-
11Then just serve them with a good burger and you are good to go.
