Roughly chop the potato skins and place them in a blender with sea salt flakes.
Warm milk in a pan and pour it over the chopped potato skins. Blend for 5 minutes until smooth.

For the Cream Cheese Mix:
Mix cream cheese, salt, lemon juice, and chives in a mixing bowl. Adjust seasoning and transfer to a piping bag.
Place in the fridge.
For the Baked Potato Crisps:
Wash potatoes well and slice through a mandolin at 2-3mm. Cut into large rectangles (you will need 3 potato crisps per portion).
Brush with clarified butter on both sides and season lightly with sea salt flakes.
Bake between 2 nonstick mats (or greaseproof paper) at 140 degrees Celsius for 40 minutes or until golden brown, turning regularly.
