-Peel potatoes into long strips with a potato peeler, then let them lie on a paper towel for a few minutes to absorb moisture. Smoke the peel in the stove smoker for a maximum of 10 minutes. Alternatively, use the smoking gun for 3 minutes. Lay them on the paper towel again. Heat frying oil in a deep fryer or frying pan. Fry the peels a few at a time till crisp and golden brown. Place them back onto the paper towel and sprinkle with salt. If you don't want to serve them right a way, wait till the peel cools and set aside in an airtight container until needed, but no longer than a few days.+

 //For Smoke & Vapour we used the recipe below, but it wasn't satisfactory. The balls collapsed in the steamer into a relatively flat cake. This needs further experimentation (e.g. use recipe above, use only egg yolks, use self-raising flour instead of baking powder, get 'ostro brasno' from Croatia… NOTE: I tried making the dumplings using the same ingredients from S&V a few days later with the recipe above and they worked MUCH better.// //For Smoke & Vapour we used the recipe below, but it wasn't satisfactory.
