- Slice potatoes extremely thin, about 2mm thick and then shred into fine straws about 2mm thick, alternatively using a mandoline with a julienne attachment. Place potato into a large bowl add cold water and rinse potatoes well. 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, allow temperature to reach around 170°C. Add flour to the potatoes and toss well to combine. Dip larger strainer into the oil, place over saucepan then add potato evenly around the sides and base of the strainer to create a potato nest, about 1cm thick. Dip the smaller strainer in oil and place on top. 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. Remove nest and place on paper towel, remove other strainer, allow to cool slightly. Nest is now ready to use to serve.
