Serves 4   cooking and prep time : 30mins

Ingredients

200 g  Maris Piper potatoes

125g plain flour

1 tsp garlic salt

1 tsp onion salt

1 tsp salt

1tsp paprika

120ml water

Sunflower (or vegetable) oil for frying

Method

1. Wash, peel and slice potatoes into 1/2 cm discs and place in cold water to stop browning.
2. Heat oil in a large frying pan to a medium heat.
3. While oil is heating, mix flour, garlic salt, onion salt and paprika into a large bowl, add a little water at a time, as you stir, until a thick paste is formed. Add a little more until you have a runny batter.
4. Dip the potato into the batter, then into the hot oil. Ensure they do not stick together. Once golden brown remove and drain on paper towels.
