How To Make russet scraps

Step 2Heat oil in medium pot over medium flame to 350 to 375. Fry potato skins in small batches til brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to cookie sheet lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Lightly salt and pepper.
-
Step 3Remove paper towels and place scarps in oven for 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
-
Step 4Mix sour cream, horseradish and chives.
-
Step 5Put scraps on plates and serve with topping.
