Using a fine grater like a microplane will achieve the best results for this recipe.
Method
- Heat oil in a large saucepan until small bubbles form when a wooden spoon handle is lowered into oil (approximately 140°C).
- Deep fry chips in batches for 3-4 minutes until partially cooked. Drain on absorbent paper and cool completely.
- Reheat oil and deep fry chips in batches until crisp and golden (approximately 4 minutes). Drain on absorbent paper and transfer to serving bowls. While chips are piping hot, finely grate over the pepato and sprinkle with sea salt. Serve immediately.
