Cooking instructions

* Step 1

🌻How To Make a Potato Basket:

* Step 2

Drain potatoes well and squeeze out excess water then use paper towel to remove any moisture. Pour vegetable oil into a wok and heat on high, temperature Add flour to the potatoes and toss well to combine.

* Step 3

Dip larger strainer into the oil, place over saucepan then add potato evenly around the sides and base of the strainer to create a birds nest, about 1cm thick. Dip the smaller strainer in oil and place on top.

* Step 4

When oil is ready, add strainers and fry until potatoes are golden and crispy, this might take between 5 – 10 minutes. When basket is nearly ready to remove from oil, gently remove the top strainer, or whatever strainer comes off easily, use a tip of a knife if any potato is stuck in the strainer, just be gentle so the nest doesn’t break.
