Step 1

Start by making the spice mix. Toast the salt flakes in a hot dry pan until they start to brown - it's very important to do this to get the true salt and pepper flavour. Mix the toasted salt and all the other spice mix ingredients together in a bowl and set aside.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 220?C (fan 200?C/gas mark 7).

Step 3

Bring a pan of salted water to the boil, add the potato chips and simmer for 10 minutes until they start to soften but are still quite firm. Drain. (You could allow the par-boiled chips to cool, season with the spice mix, then freeze them. They will be ready to cook from frozen at a later date.)

Step 4

Spray a baking tray with low-calorie cooking spray. Spread the potatoes out on the tray and spray them with more low-calorie cooking spray. Sprinkle them with a little of the spice mix, place in the oven and cook for 15-20 minutes until they are soft and starting to colour.

Step 5

Spray a frying pan generously with low-calorie cooking spray, add the spring onions, chillies and peppers and cook for a few minutes until they start to soften. Add the potatoes to the pan and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of the spice mix (or as much as you like). Keep stirring and tossing the ingredients so they do not catch and burn. You may need to add a bit more low-calorie cooking spray to the pan. Continue cooking until the chips are golden brown, then serve.
