Chef tips
For extra crispy potatoes, make sure to dry them thoroughly with a kitchen towel after cutting. This ensures they brown evenly instead of steaming in the pan. For a family-friendly version, set aside some sauce before adding the chili for the kids. Serve with a mild garlic aioli to balance the heat and elevate the dish.
