BBQ Potato Crisps

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu!

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

I've always been more of a savoury person than a sweet - give me a Chicken Kathi Roll over a Devon Scone any day.




 When I realised that you could make crisps at home, I had to give it a go. So, I tried these BBQ Potato Crisps.

Thinly sliced potatoes fried until golden and crispy around the edges, and then tossed in wonderful, smoky BBQ spices!

A Simple List of Ingredients:

1. Potatoes
2. Vegetable Oil
3. Smoked Paprika
4. Salt
5. Red Chilli Powder
6. Garlic Powder
7. Onion Powder

Bismillah, let's begin! 

Take 5 medium Potatoes. Give them a good wash and a scrub. Dry them very well.


The potatoes need to be sliced into quite thin rounds. I used this attachment on my food processor which made everything really easy.


You could also use a knife or one of these graters, but be really careful!


Once the potatoes are sliced, it's time to fry them. Heat up a deep saucepan with Vegetable Oil ready to deep-fry.


Add in the potato slices, and fry on a medium to high heat until they begin to crisp up around the edges.


Whilst the crisps fry, quickly mix together the barbecue seasoning. Take 1/2 tablespoon of Smoked Paprika.


1/2 tablespoon of Red Chilli Powder


1/2 tablespoon of Garlic Powder and 1/2 tablespoon of Onion Powder


And, Salt, to taste


Give the mix a good mix. You can try it on one of two crisps and then adjust if needed.


By now, the crisps should be lovely, crispy and golden brown.


Put them in a single layer on paper towels to cool for a minute or two. Sprinkle over the seasoning and toss. Let them cool slightly so that they firm up and aren't soggy.


Serve up with your favourite cold drink, and enjoy!
