Crispy Squid with Harissa Mayo

  • Veg oil for frying
  • 75g potato starch or potato flour
  • 500g fresh squid, cleaned and sliced into rings and trimmed tentacles
  • For the Harissa Mayo
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 100g quality mayo
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tsp harissa paste
  • Prepare the mayo by mixing the ingredients in a small bowl, and seasoning to taste. Set aside. For the squid, heat about 10cm of oil in a pan to sizzling temperature. Season the potato starch in a bowl, and toss the squid until well coated. Fry for 2-3 mins - in batches, to not overcrowd the pan - until golden, then drain on kitchen paper and season with salt flakes. Serve immediately.
