Excellent! We loved the potatoes and the peanut sauce, this was a great combination. As I didn't have the chilis I used some sweet chili sauce. Also I used natural style peanut butter with a little drop of maple syrup added. Thanks for posting!<br/>Made for September Tailgating Party / Diabetes Forum

This was just lovely. Had to use lemon juice and chili garlic paste as we did not have lime or a serrano chili, but otherwise followed the recipe as written. It was easy to make and very tasty. A very nice alternative to regular oven fries. Thanks for posting! Would make again.
