Parsnip Chips
Parsnip chips make a welcome alternative to potato chips, and they have more flavour. Serve them sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese as an accompaniment to grilled chops or sausages.
Ingredients
- 1 lb parsnips peeled and sliced into chip shapes
- Salt
- Oil for deep-fat frying
- 2 oz Parmesan cheese grated, to finish
Instructions
- Cook the parsnips in boiling salted water for 10 to 15 minutes, or until just tender. Drain and dry thoroughly on a clean tea towel or absorbent kitchen paper.
- Gently heat oil in a deep-frying pan until it is hot enough to turn a stale bread cube golden in 30 seconds (190°C/375°F on a deep-frying thermometer).
- Put in the parsnips, in a frying basket, and fry for 5 minutes or until golden-brown.
- Lift out and drain on absorbent kitchen paper. Transfer to a hot serving dish, sprinkle with the cheese and serve immediately.
