A savory dish that always calls the 'unfriable' potato incident to mind, in which my husband and I miserably failed to deep fry potatoes...even though the oil was hot and we kept the potato chunks there for ages.Eventually they all fell apart, but did not brown. We don't have an explanation for the event, but to avoid its recurrence we now prepare this dish with oven-fries. And the verdict: it works!
Ingredients
2 chicken breasts
4 cloves of finely chopped garlic
4 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp Piros Arany (Hungarian crushed pepper sauce)
3 tbsp vegetable oil
salt
black pepper
6 medium potatoes
Preparation
Take the chicken breasts and cut them into small pieces. Heat the garlic in 2 tbsp of oil in a sauce pan. Once fragrant, add the ketchup and crushed pepper sauce, stir and heat for 10-20 more seconds. Add the chicken pieces, stir and season with salt and a little black pepper. Stirring occasionally, keep cooking on low heat, until done. Don't add water.
Peel and dice the potatoes, and toss them with one tbsp oil on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Salt lightly. Bake in a 400F preheated oven for 30-40 minutes (till light brown).
When done, remove from the foil and stir into the saucy chicken bits. Serve with a salad, and extra ketchup, if so desired.
A wonderful junk food, and not as unhealthy as it may seem.
Yup, using over fries instead of real fries makes me feel better. And the taste is just as good.
