Prep Time: 10 minutes

Equipment

  • Mandoline Slicer can be replaced with a good knife
  • Deep fryer can be replaced by a pot/pan with oil

Ingredients

  • 2 pcs. Baked Potato
  • 1 pcs. Egg White circa
  • 16 gram Potato Flour circa

Instructions

  • Cut baking potatoes very thin on a mandolin. So thin that you can read the newspaper through them.
  • Pat the potato slices dry on a clean kitchen towel.
  • Brush one side of each potato slice with egg whites and sprinkle half of the potatoes with potato flour (use a fine sieve).
  • Place the other brushed potato slice on top, with the brushed side down towards the potato flour.
  • Press them together. And cut the potatoes with a cutter so they become round.
  • Make sure the oil in your deep fryer (or pot/pan) is 170 degrees Celsius (338 degrees Fahrenheit).
  • Add a few at a time (not too many, as it will lower the oil's temperature too much) and after a while, they will begin to puff up.
  • They need a couple of minutes until they have turned color.
  • Take them out and place them on absorbent paper.
  • Add a little salt and serve immediately.
