CRISPY CHILLI POTATOES

Every person has their personal favorite ethnic food.  The HUBS loves Thai food.  The little brothers love Mexican (who doesn't??).  The parents love Indian (big surprise there).  But why pick one when you can pick fusion food??  I love Indo-Chinese.  Yes this is a real thing.  And yes its the best of two worlds.  In most cases, indo-chinese is a wee bit involved.  Lots of minced veggies and too many ingredients to count, so its usually saved for special occasions.  This dish however is perfect for the noncommittal.  Its spicy and tangy.  Not to mention basically an upgrade to regular french fries.  The best part - its super easy!  Oh yea and only has 5 ingredients.
