Chips Mayay (aka Chips In or Around My Eye)

Here's a Nkhata Bay favorite! It's one of our favorite breakfasts and makes for great hangover food...if you're into that.

½ kg potatoes, sliced (the thinner the better, I prefer them unpeeled)
Enough water to cover the potatoes
Oil for frying
1 medium onion
1 medium tomato
1 green pepper
1-2 cloves garlic
2 eggs, beaten
2 tsp crushed red pepper or chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Place sliced potatoes into large pot and cover with water. Bring contents to a boil and drain (boiling before frying makes frying take less oil and time). Fry potatoes in large saucepan until desired crispiness, might take more than one round to fry them all. Remove potatoes from pan and sauté vegetables in left-over oil. Add enough potatoes to at least cover the bottom of the pan. Pour beaten eggs over the vegetables and add red pepper, salt and pepper. Allow mixture to fry until bottom is golden brown. Slide the contents of saucepan into large plate and flip back into pan. Allow other side to fry. Enjoy! Best served with either avocado or ketchup. Consider experimenting serving with left-over beans or chili on top! The possibilities are endless!!!
