- serves 4-6 people
- preparation 10 minutes
- cooking 1:15 hour
- difficulty Easy level
Ingredients
- 1 kg potatoes
- Vegetable oil, for deep-frying
- 1 lemon, juiced and zest peeled in strips
- 3 sprigs rosemary
- 2 tbsp sea salt flakes
- 1 tsp vegetable stock powder
- ½ cup sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200˚C. On a baking tray, roast the potatoes whole for 1 hour, then halve them and scoop out the flesh. The flesh can be used for mashed potato, potato salads etc. Reserve the baked potato skins.
- In a large saucepan, heat enough oil to deep-fry to 180˚C and deep-fry the potato skins in batches, until golden-brown. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked potato skins to a wire rack.
- To make the lemon and rosemary salt, heat the lemon zest strips, rosemary and sea salt flakes in a medium dry frying pan, shaking regularly until the lemon and rosemary are completely dry. This may take up to 20 minutes. Transfer the ingredients from the pan to a high-speed blender and blend to a coarse powder. In a small bowl, combine the salt mixture with the vegetable stock powder and mix well to combine.
- In a second small bowl, combine the lemon juice and sour cream. Serve the potato skins with the lemony sour cream and plenty of the lemon and rosemary salt.
