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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
