Gaufrette potatoes Yield: 10 portions
Ingredients Quantity
Kennebec potatoes 800 g
Salt and pepper to taste
Step Method
1 Peel and remove the eyes from the potatoes and trim to an even shape.
2 Set the corrugated fluted blade of a mandoline to about 1 mm.
3 Cut the potato into round slices, turning the potato about 90 degrees between each slicing movement to give a trellis pattern.
4 Place the slices into a frying basket and carefully lower the basket into a clean deep fryer set at 185 °C.
5 Shake the potatoes gently in the basket to prevent the slices sticking together. When the bubbling effect of the fat slows down, tip the potatoes out of the basket into the fat.
6 Using a spider, keep the potato slices moving and turning until they are crisp and an even golden brown.
