Instrucțiuni

Method

1. Simply dissolve the salt in the water to create a 3% brine. If you are making a smaller jar then just make up half the amount.

2. Add the potato wedges to the jar, with bay leaves, herbs or spices. Just cut up enough wedges to fill your jar, leaving a small gap at the top.

3. Pour the brine over the potatoes, close the lid and leave at room temperature for around 3 days. The brilliant thing is the potatoes all sink to the bottom and stay under the brine so no need to weigh them down! You should see some bubbles and the brine will turn cloudy showing that fermentation is proceeding normally.

4. Drain the potato wedges, pat them dry and coat them in some rapeseed or olive oil. Add more seasoning and bake them at 220C for 30 to 40 minutes for the best, tastiest potato wedges ever!
