Potatoes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash and Slice Potatoes

    Thoroughly wash the Russet potatoes under cold running water to remove any dirt. Slice each potato into wedges, about 1/2 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Soak Potatoes

    Place the potato wedges in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for about 30 minutes. This will help to remove excess starch and make them crispier when fried.

Breading

  1. 3

    Prepare Breading Mixture

    In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 4

    Beat Eggs

    In a separate bowl, crack the two eggs and beat them until the yolks and whites are fully combined.

Frying

  1. 5

    Heat Oil

    In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 6

    Coat Potatoes

    Drain the potato wedges and pat them dry with a paper towel. Dip each wedge into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off, and then coat it in the breading mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

  3. 7

    Fry Potatoes

    Carefully place the coated potato wedges into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.

  4. 8

    Drain and Serve

    Once fried, use a slotted spoon to transfer the Jo-Jo potatoes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Season with additional salt if desired and serve hot.
