Chilli-fried potato crunch

An addictive sweet-spicy mix is the secret ingredient of many rickety roadside warungs (family restaurants). A generous sprinkle adds heat and crunch to any meal and is especially good with vegetables. They also make a great snack. You can vary the base as you like; I’ve used roasted peanuts and the potato matchsticks you can buy in packets, but tiny dried fish are often included.
