Instructions

Step 1

1. To make the mushroom pâté, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chopped mushrooms, salt, and pepper. Fry until the mushrooms release their excess water.

Step 2

3. Add the chopped shallots and crushed garlic and fry for a few more minutes until the onion has softened.

Step 3

4. Once cooked, set aside to cool. Then, add the mushrooms to a food processor with the basil leaves, cream cheese, and gherkins. Blitz until smooth and chill for 30 minutes.

Step 4

5. While the mushroom pâté is chilling, prepare the potato crisps. Slice the potatoes very thinly using a mandolin vegetable peeler. Try to get even slices so that you can roll them into cones.

Step 5

6. Secure the edges with a toothpick and fry in two steps. Firstly, until slightly brown, then take out to cool, and then fry again until golden brown. Transfer the finished potato cones to a paper towel and add salt and pepper.
