FRENCH FRIES WITH GARLIC SAUCE

My mom used to prepare french fries this way for our breakfasts. I personally prefer this one over regular french fries.

Ingredients:

• 2 medium size of potatoes
• 1 tsp of red pepper paste
• 1/2 tsp of ground cumin
• 1 clove of garlic (mushed )
• salt
• sunflower oil ( for frying )

Wash and peel potatoes. Cut them into bite size cubes. Take sunflower oil in a frying pan over high heat. Add potato cubes and fry, stirring occasionally. Take them in a mixing bowl.

Take 3 tbsp of sun flower oil from frying pan and add garlic, cumin, pepper paste, salt. Mix it well. Add this mixture into the french fries and stir. Take it in a serving dish.
