What makes these chili fries so irresistible?

You might know them: those standard loaded fries or ready-made potato options from the supermarket. Forget about them! These chili fries with chili mayo are in a league of their own. They are:

• Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside
• Fragrant thanks to high-quality extra virgin olive oil
• Spicy without being over the top, thanks to the perfect balance of spices
• Stylish and easy to serve, ideal for dinner, drinks, or as a midnight snack

Ingredients (serves 2-3)

• 500 g floury potatoes
• 2-3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1-2 tsp chili salt mix from Nicolas Vahé (or to taste)
• Mayonnaise of your choice (for example, Nicolas Vahé mayo)
• 1-2 tsp chili sauce or chili powder
• Optional: fresh coriander and spring onion for garnish

How to make the chili fries

1. Baking the perfect fries

• Preheat the oven to 220°C (fan).
• Wash the potatoes (peeling is optional) and cut them into even fries.
• Pat the fries dry and toss them with the extra virgin olive oil and 1 teaspoon chili salt mix.
• Spread them out on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, making sure they don’t overlap.
• Bake! In about 30-35 minutes, they’ll be golden brown and deliciously crispy.

2. Chili mayo: quick & spicy

• Mix mayonnaise with 1-2 teaspoons chili sauce and, if you like, a bit of chili salt mix for extra heat.
• Taste and adjust the flavor to your liking.

3. Serving with Scandinavian flair

• Arrange a generous pile of chili fries on a plate or platter.
• Top with a hearty spoonful of chili mayo, fresh coriander, and sliced spring onion.
• Serve immediately—because they’re best when hot!
