Instructions

  • Peel and wash the potatoes. Thinly slice the potatoes to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use you jack-o-lantern cookie cutter to cut out the pumpkins. Repeat for all potatoes.
  • Place the potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let sit for about 30 minutes. Wash and rinse. Drain in a colander. Then dry in a clean tea towel. Toss in the salt.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Have ready two large baking trays.
  • Evenly distribute the jack-o-lantern potatoes on two of the trays. It’s important they don’t overlap. Drizzle over the vegetable oil.
  • Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes. Remove trays and flip over all the potatoes. Return to oven for a further 15 minutes or so until they are crispy and golden.
  • Serve immediately with your favourite dipping sauce.
