POTATO SCALLOPS
Makes 6-8 as a side
INGREDIENTS
700g floury potatoes, peeled
2 cups self raising flour, plus extra for coating
Pinch bi-carb soda
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground white pepper
2 cups water
Sea salt and malt vinegar to serve
METHOD
1. Fill the deep fryer with 4 litres of oil and
preheat 180°C.
2. Slice potatoes into 3mm thick slices and
place into a bowl of water with juice of a
lemon to prevent them from browning.
3. Sift flour, bi-carb, salt and pepper into a
large mixing bowl and pour in
1
3
⁄4 cups of the water. Mix to form a
smooth batter the consistency of thick
cream. Add remaining water if batter
becomes too thick. Set aside.
4. Drain potatoes and pat dry with paper
towel. Dust in extra flour, shaking off
excess.
5. Preheat oven 160°C.

is golden brown. Remove and drain on
paper towel. Place in oven to keep warm.
Repeat with remaining potatoes and
batter, allowing the oil to reheat between
