Recipe Description

Puffed Potatoes are a delightful snack made from thinly sliced potatoes fried until they puff up into crispy, golden bites. Perfect for parties or a cozy evening treat, these potatoes are light, airy, and absolutely irresistible!

Ingredients

  • 4 medium-sized potatoes
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes

  • Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly using a mandoline or a sharp knife.
  • Soak the potato slices in cold water for 10 minutes to remove excess starch.
  • Drain the slices and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 2: Heat the Oil

  • Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or wok to 350°F (175°C).
  • Test the oil by dropping a small piece of potato in it; it should sizzle immediately.

Step 3: Fry the Potatoes

  • Fry the potato slices in small batches to prevent overcrowding.
  • Turn the slices occasionally to ensure even puffing and frying.
  • Remove the slices when they are golden and puffed, placing them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 4: Season and Serve

  • Sprinkle salt and paprika over the puffed potatoes while still hot.
  • Serve immediately for the best crunch and flavor.

FAQs

Why aren’t my potatoes puffing up?

Ensure the slices are evenly thin and the oil is at the right temperature (350°F). Soaking and drying the potatoes also help them puff up.

Can I bake the potatoes instead of frying?

Baking won’t achieve the same puffed texture, but you can try brushing the slices with oil and baking at 400°F (200°C) until crispy.

How do I store leftover puffed potatoes?

Puffed potatoes are best eaten fresh. If you must store them, place them in an airtight container for up to 2 days, but they may lose their crispiness.

Can I use sweet potatoes for this recipe?

Yes, but sweet potatoes may not puff as much. They still make for a delicious alternative!

Slow-roast Persian lamb with pomegranate salad

Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. In a small bowl, mix the molasses with the cumin, lemon juice, olive oil and garlic. Scatter the onion over a casserole dish or a deep roasting tin. Place the lamb on top of the onions. Pour the glaze over the lamb. Rinse the bowl out with about 200ml water, then pour it around – not over – the lamb. Cover the dish with a lid or the tin with a large piece of foil. Roast the lamb, undisturbed, for 3 hrs, then remove the lid or foil and continue to roast for 30 mins to give the lamb colour. When the lamb has had its time, pour off the juices, remove as much fat as possible, then pour the juices back over the lamb. Just before serving, gently toss all the salad ingredients together. Serve the lamb with its sauce, the salad and some warmed flatbreads.

Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry the steak for 8-10 mins, turning to brown it all over. Remove from the pan and leave to cool. To make the gravy, add the shallot and garlic to the pan juices and cook, stirring, until softened and golden. Pour in the wine, add the herbs and leave to bubble for 2 mins. Pour in the stock and stir in the flour paste, stirring all the time until the gravy has thickened. Cover and cook for 5 mins over a low heat, then strain into a bowl or small freezer container, pushing through as much liquid left in the shallots as you can. Wash the pan, then melt the butter and cook the shallot and garlic until softened. Add the mushrooms and thyme, and fry for 10 mins, stirring frequently, to drive off as much moisture as possible. Season with black pepper and sparingly with salt. Cool. Lay a couple of sheets of cling film on the work surface, side by side and slightly overlapping, then arrange the prosciutto down the centre in two overlapping rows. Spread the mushroom mixture on top, then scatter evenly with the cheese and walnuts. Place the steak on top, then tightly wrap the prosciutto round it, using the cling film to help you. Finally, tightly wrap in the cling film and chill for 30 mins. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface until you think it is large enough to completely wrap round the steak roll. Unwrap the meat, place on top of the pastry and brush round it with the egg mixture. Tightly roll up in the pastry, trimming the excess as you bring the pastry together down the length and ends, sealing well. If you want to add decoration, cut out leaf shapes from the trimmings and use the egg mixture to stick them to the pastry. Chill until ready to cook. Will keep for 2 days. (If freezing, wrap in new cling film, then foil, and freeze along with the gravy and egg glaze. The day before, take everything out of the freezer and put in the fridge, unwrapping the steak roll and covering it loosely with kitchen paper.) Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 with a baking sheet inside. Place the (completely thawed) meat on a piece of baking parchment and brush with the egg glaze. Place on the hot baking sheet and cook for 45-50 mins. Insert a meat thermometer into the centre of the beef: for rare it should be 50C, for medium-rare 55C, and for medium 60C. Cover loosely with foil and leave to rest for 15-20 mins. Trim off the pastry end, then thickly slice and serve with the gravy, heated in a pan, and seasonal vegetables.
