Potatoes are a good side dish. If you want a variation on the regular boiled potatoes, mashed potatoes or potato slices, then crispy potato skins are a good idea. Serve them with parmesan cheese and you have a perfect side dish.
So how to make crispy potato skins? The potatoes are first baked in the oven. Then they’re halved and scooped out. At last you deep-fry them for that extra crunch. Served with parmesan cheese, black pepper and mayonnaise they’re delicious. The recipe is from the cookbook Heerlijke Hamburgers from Anne Wilson.
Another potato recipe on the blog is Crinkle Cut Fries. Which mayonnaise is best to serve with potatoes? Check it out in this article on Testing Different Mayonnaises. The Veggie Burger Omelet would be perfect to serve with these potato skins.
Review
6 potatoes was not enough for the 3 of us as a side dish. Fried them in the deep-fryer instead of a pan with oil.
