  • About

This is a dish that can take on so many identities and be offered as savoury canapés, a starter or an elaborate salad. This version is a starter, the crab dip scooped up on home-made crisps.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium potatoes, unpeeled
  • oil, for deep-frying
  • salt
  • 100-150 ml (3½-5

Method

  • Slice the potatoes very thinly, using a sharp knife or mandolin. Rinse well in cold water to help remove the starch before drying with a kitchen cloth. Heat the oil in a large pan, just a few inches deep, to 190°C (375°F). Fry the potatoes in small batches until golden brown. Remove using a slotted spoon, transfer on to kitchen paper and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
