Ingredients
- 30g salt
- 300g fresh potato skins (from about 6 potatoes)
- Vegetable oil, to deep-fry
- Sea salt flakes, to serve
- Malt vinegar or white vinegar, to serve
- Mayonnaise, to serve
- Sweet chilli sauce, to serve
Method
STEP 1
Combine the salt and 4 cups (1L) water in a large bowl, stirring until the salt dissolves. Add the potato skins and set aside for 30 mins to soak. Drain well.
STEP 2
Arrange the potato skins over a baking tray lined with paper towel. Cover with paper towel and gently press to absorb any excess water.
STEP 3
Add enough oil to a medium saucepan to come 6cm up the side of the pan. Heat to 180°C over medium-high heat (when oil is ready, a cube of bread turns golden brown in 15 secs). Cook the potato skins, in 2 batches, for 3-4 mins or until golden. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a plate lined with paper towel. Sprinkle with sea salt and lightly drizzle with vinegar. Serve immediately with mayonnaise and sweet chilli sauce.
