Sauce

Finely slice the onions, sweat down in the butter until very soft, add the vinegar and reduce.
Bring the milk and cream and stock to the boil and add the potato skins, allow to infuse for 30 minutes and then drain into the onion mix.
Blend altogether and correct the seasoning. Pass through a fine sieve and transfer into a whippy gun and charge with 1 gas. Keep in a warm place.
