Ruffles Jamon Crisps With Spanish Ham Flavour 170g (Pack of 4)

Product Information

This Spanish recipe, huevos rotos con jamón (scrambled eggs with ham) is an absolute favourite of mine. I love potatoes, love eggs, and love jamón. “Rotos” translates directly as “broken”, which is exactly what you do to the eggs just as you serve them. This dish is so simple, yet is pretty hearty and of course it is easy to cook. We have featured this one as a treat for Maria Alejandra Lemus and Maxine Raynor And make sure you add on a pot of Honest’s rich meaty bacon gravy, which is just perfect for dipping. Only now do we turn on the stove at medium intensity. This is a method also used when frying french fries. Despite their intuition, potatoes do not absorb oil and become floury. This method allows you to fry a large batch of crisps at once, because you do not risk uneven cooling of the oil. It is also easier to hit the right temperature without a thermometer. As soon as the crisps start to bubble in the oil, you have reached the ideal temperature.

Because the crisps do not pass through any acid bath, they are much darker in colour than conventional commercial chips, however without a hint of any burnt taste.When it comes to making a crisp sandwich it’s vital that the crisps are added last-minute for a proper crunch. Once your egg whites are actually white, it should be done. But if those yolks are still raw… pop it under a hot grill just for a minute for a minute or two. After 5 minutes, you can mix the crisps with the spices, ideally in a resealable bag. Carefully mix until you have almost no spice left at the bottom. And talking of potatoes, the rosemary salted chips are worth shouting about, too. They’ve been described by food critic Jay Rayner as “edible crystal meth”. Potato crisps in the lower layers are finished a little faster than the ones floating on the surface.

It seems best to season the chips immediately after frying, but even then the coverage is not entirely satisfactory. Sprinkle the rest of the jamon spices on top. We loved their limited edition steak frites burger last year, and the Beef Wellington burger, exclusive to Manchester, is a thing of beauty.

Using bravas sauce, a Spanish spicy tomato sauce made with hot paprika, adds gentle heat as well as making us nostalgic for holidays abroad – though sitting on the Honest terrace might be the closest we get for a while. The Manchego, a Spanish full fat hard cheese made with pasteurised sheep’s milk, melts beautifully and adds a unique nutty, buttery flavour.
