Sizzler potato skins

These crunchy and delicious Sizzler potato skins are just like the ones you buy in their restaurants and perfect to make at home when you just can't get there.

    scrubbed clean

  • oil

    for deep frying

  • 3 tbsp season all spice mix

Equipment

  • 1 oven
  • 1 baking tray

  • 1 paper towels

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C (200°C fan-forced). Line a baking tray with baking paper and place potatoes onto tray. Bake for 1 hour or until a skewer passes firmly through the potato flesh. Remove from oven and leave to cool.

  4. Heat oil for deep frying and fry potato skins until crispy. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle liberally with season all spice mix. Serve.

Variation
You can use large russet potatoes instead of sebago potatoes.
