Peel and chop the potatoes into thin strips.
Heat cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat until shimmering.
Add the potato strips and deep fry until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the potatoes and drain them on paper towels.
In a bowl, beat the eggs and season with salt, black pepper, and milk.
Add chopped onion, tomato, green chilli, and chives to the egg mixture and stir well.
Heat a little oil in the pan over medium heat.
Pour the egg mixture into the pan and cook until the edges start to set, about 2-3 minutes.
Layer the fried potatoes on top of the egg mixture.
Cover the pan and cook until the eggs are fully set, about 5 minutes.
Slide the Chips Mayai onto a plate and cut into wedges.
Serve hot, optionally garnished with red chilli flakes.
