Sambal (von Wikipedia) sind dickflüssige, ursprünglich aus Indonesien stammende Würzsaucen auf Chili-Basis
I came across this bottle of Sambal Oelek while doing our weekly grocery shopping. And this recipe came immediately to mind. My grandma's maid from Indonesia had prepared this for me as a snack (a really spicy heavy snack ), but it was really yummy. I stayed around in the kitchen to watch her prepare this dish and picked up the recipe along the way.
For those who LOVE spicy, this is the perfect side dish to go with rice and noodles. (Watching Olaf finish up the potatoes, i can safely claim, the Germans will like it - just be warned, the tummy might give u a little trouble the day after)
Ingredients (serves 2)
5 potatoes (speise kartoffeln) 3 teaspoons of Sambal Oelek (Can be adjusted to any level of spiciness) 3 teaspoons of Sugar 2 teaspoons of Salt 1 and a half cups of oil
