Potato scratchings
by
No trip to Stosie Madi's beloved pub The Parker's Arms would be complete without her earth-shatteringly crunchy potato skins to kick things off. Think ready salted crisps turned up to 11!
If you're making these at home, be sure to reserve the potato flesh to make Stosie's other delicious snack of Lancashire cheese puffs – you can find the recipe for these here.
Ingredients
- 500g of floury potatoes , such as Maris Pipers
- vegetable oil, for deep frying
- flaky sea salt
Method
1
Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4. Prick the potatoes with a fork and place in the oven for 1 hour or until the potato is soft and fluffy on the inside. Carefully scoop out the potato flesh and use for something else, such as mashed potato or Stosie's Lancashire cheese puffs (you can find the recipe for these in the description above)
