Keep the slices covered in water while you heat the oil to 180 \u00b0C. Gently drop the slices into the oil one at a time, in batches. Fry until crisp and golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels and season with salt flakes while still hot.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>To serve:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Arrange potato discs on a wooden board or platter, top with a dollop of avocado dip. Top the avo dip with some of the dressed asparagus. Serve at once (the potato crisps will soften on standing).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the wine<\/strong>: The Spier Seaward Chardonnay has aromas of ruby grapefruit, mango, citrus with undertones of raw almonds. The creamy palate offers a fresh citrus and nectarine with well-integrated vanilla on the finish.
