For the Baked Potato Puree:
Cut the warm baked potato in half and scoop out the soft, cooked potato from the center and set it aside in a warm place.
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.
Add double cream and reserved cooked potato. Blend for 1 minute. Pass through a chinois while still warm (adjust seasoning if required) and transfer to a squeezy bottle. Keep warm.
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.
Once golden brown and crispy, remove from the oven and allow to cool.
