"A spicy take on pan fried potatoes using the ghost chili pepper."

 

• Ready In: 10mins
• Ingredients: 4
• Serves: 2

ingredients

• 2 russet potatoes
• 1 dried ghost chili pepper
• 44.37 ml vegetable oil
• salt and pepper

directions

1. Wash and cut the potatoes as desired (I usually cut lengthwise making round slices around 1/8 inch thick). Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large skillet and just before putting the tomatoes in put one ghost chili in the oil (handle the pepper very carefully and wash your hands after touching it). Cook the potatoes in the oil turning once and when golden brown (4-8 minutes) place them on a plate covered with paper towels to soak up the oil and discard the ghost chili. Sprinkle with salt and pepper if desired and serve immediately.
