Instructions:

Boil the Potatoes: Start by boiling the potatoes in salted water for about 10 minutes to slightly soften them. This step ensures that the potatoes cook evenly while frying.
Prepare the Potatoes: Once the potatoes are boiled, peel them and slice them into thick rounds, approximately half a centimeter thick. These slices will provide a perfect balance of crunch and softness once fried.
Fry the Peppers: In a large pan, heat extra virgin olive oil until it is very hot. Add the cruschi peppers (dried Italian peppers) to the pan and fry them for just a few seconds. Watch them carefully as they puff up and turn a vibrant red. This step is key to bringing out their distinctive flavor and crispy texture.
Drain the Peppers: Once fried, remove the peppers from the oil and place them on a tray lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. After they cool slightly, break them into small pieces, but not too finely.
Fry the Potatoes: In the same hot oil, carefully add the potato slices. Fry the potatoes for about 15 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, but soft on the inside. Stir occasionally to ensure they cook evenly.
Combine and Serve: Once the potatoes are fried to perfection, season with fine salt to taste. Add the crispy cruschi pepper pieces and give everything a gentle toss to combine. Serve hot as a flavorful and crunchy side dish to complement any main course.

Enjoy the crispy potatoes with the bold and unique flavor of the cruschi peppers, a true delight for the taste buds!
