Chipsi Mayai



I first had this delicious dish in Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania a couple of years ago. My friend, a local, took me to a hole-in-the-wall restaurant and ordered this for me. I must say, I was really skeptical at first, I mean fries with eggs???? After the first bite, I was hooked! 2 years later I attempted to make this for myself and was very pleased with the results.

Chipsi Mayai

Peel one large potato

Cut the potato into fries

Heat up oil then fry potatoes until done. Set aside.

Mix 3 eggs.

Empty the oil from the frying pan and add butter instead.

Put half of the egg mixture and the fries into the frying pan.

Use a plate and flip the chipsi mayai

Rebutter the pan and add the rest of the egg mixture

Slide the chipsi mayai on top of the egg mixture. It should be kind of like a sandwich with the fries mostly in between the omelette.

Cook until ready. Best served warm. Enjoy :)
