Matchstick Chips Recipes

Steps:

• Place a heavy pot over medium-high heat and fill with at least 1-inch vegetable oil. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F. (Portable deep-fryers at home are great for this, but if you don¿t have one, use a candy thermometer ¿ just be careful!)
• Very thinly slice the jicama, as you would a potato to make chips, then stack a few slices at a time and cut them all into matchstick-sized pieces.
• Carefully place the chips into the hot oil (use a slotted spoon and wear mitts) and fry until very crispy (just a few minutes will do). Cook in batches, as necessary. Remove and drain on paper towels.
• Sprinkle liberally with equal amounts of salt, onion, and garlic powders, and paprika to taste. Toss to coat well and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Pour at least 1-inch of oil into a deep pot and heat it to 350 degrees F.
• Slice the potatoes into thin matchsticks (1/8-inch thick) with a vegetable slicer or mandoline, dropping them into a bowl of cold water as you cut. Drain the potatoes and dry them thoroughly with paper towels. Drop the potatoes in batches into the hot oil and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the pot with a wire basket skimmer or slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Place on a baking sheet, sprinkle with salt, and keep warm in the oven while you cook the rest of the potatoes.
• Sprinkle the potatoes with parsley, if desired, and serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to very hot.
• cut the pastry sheet in half, and then cut each "half" into 5 pieces.
• place on backing trays that have been sprayed with oil.
• place in oven, wait one minute and then turn the heat down a little (200c).
• Cook about 10 mins, or until puffed and golden.
• Cool on wire rack.
• Filling.
• pour cream into large bowl, put the milk into the cream container to get all the cream and pour into the bowl whisk well.
• sprinkle over the pudding mix, and whisk for about a minute, untill it thickens, and is smooth.
• cover and refrigerate.
• When ready to serve, split the pastry, length ways, and spread jam on the bottom piece.
• Using large nozzle, pipe the filling over the jam, and cover with the "top" piece, dust with icing sugar.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 240C/220C fan/ gas 7 with a sturdy baking tray in it. Toss the frozen fries in a bowl with all the other ingredients and a large pinch of salt until evenly coated.
• Spread the fries over the baking tray and cook for 15 mins until starting to turn golden, then use a spatula to turn them and bake for 15-20 mins more until golden and crisp - watch them for the last few minutes to ensure they don't burn.
