Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Cut potatoes into smallish chunks and boil them for 4 or 5 minutes in salted water, they should be very firm and only slightly cooked.
  2. Drain the potatoes and rinse with COLD water.
  3. Heat frying oil to 160ºC and fry for 5-6 minutes, or until they are cooked, not crispy.
  4. Turn heat up to 190ºC and fry until golden and crunchy.
  5. In a deep skillet with a good lid (I use a wok) heat the olive oil.
  6. Fry onions until they have wilted on a high heat, then turn down the heat and cover.
  7. Peel your garlic (bash it with the flat of a good kitchen knife and top 'n' tail ) and chop into smallish pieces (if you're going to serve this to kids put it through a food processor, if you like garlic just cut it into rounds).
  8. Add to the onions and turn the heat up again.
  9. Chop your red chili pepper very, very carefully into really tiny pieces; add to the pan and WASH YOUR HANDS!
  10. I mean it!
  11. Go wash 'em and then come back!
  12. Throw in your peppers and your spices, you'll have to experiment with this, because I love my papas to be real spicy, I add about 2 tsp Tabasco, a good Tbsp pepper and then a liberal amount of cayenne to give that extra colour and flavour.
  13. Mix the water, soy sauce, vinegar and sugar and stir into the pan.
  14. Reduce for a bit, you should end up with something thick and gooey that looks unappetizing, sort of chutney consistency.
  15. Cut up your tomatoes into eighths and put into the mixture.
  16. They WILL disintegrate.
  17. Just before serving, and I do mean just, toss the potatoes in this jam/chutney you have just made.
  18. It looks, ummm, not too pleasant, but it tastes great.
  19. If you have left overs, refrigerate and then when you want to use it shape them into a sort of patty by mashing the potatoes a bit, then either fry in oil or dry-fry them in a large pan.
