Time 50m

Yield Serves 4 as a side

Number Of Ingredients 14

4-5 large floury potatoes
5 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp black peppercorns
1 tsp Sichuan peppercorns
1 onion, finely chopped
1 red pepper, finely chopped
1 green pepper, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, sliced
1 red chilli, finely sliced
½ tsp Chinese five-spice powder
1 tsp caster sugar
1 tsp sea salt
½ tsp chilli flakes
3 spring onions, finely sliced

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Cut the potatoes into chunky chips or wedges. Tip into a pan, top up with cold water and bring to a boil. As soon as you see bubbles, simmer gently for 5 mins. Drain carefully and leave to steam dry.
  • Meanwhile, heat 4 tbsp of the oil in a shallow-lipped baking tray in the top of the oven. Transfer the parboiled chips to the tray, carefully coat in the hot oil and cook for 20-25 mins until golden and crisp, turning halfway through.
  • While the chips are cooking, toast the peppercorns in a wok or large frying pan for a few mins, then transfer to a pestle and mortar and crush. Heat the remaining in the pan and stir-fry the onion, peppers, garlic and chilli for 5-8 mins over a medium-high heat until the onions and garlic turn golden brown. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Mix the Chinese five-spice powder, sugar, salt, chilli flakes and ground peppercorns together. Tip the cooked chips into the pan with the veg and return to a medium heat. Toss to combine. Sprinkle in the salt and pepper mixture and the spring onions. Toss everything together for 1-2 mins until evenly coated, then serve straight away with another pinch of sea salt, if you like.
