Crispy Mojo Potatoes Recipes

MOJO FRENCH FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Whisk flour, paprika, salt, black pepper, chili powder, and cayenne pepper in a bowl. Whisk egg with milk together in a separate bowl. Dip potato wedges in the egg mixture, then dredge in the seasoned flour. Arrange coated potato wedges on prepared baking sheet. Drizzle wedges with vegetable oil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the coating is browned and the potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve immediately.

CRISPY MOJO POTATOES

Steps:

• Combine flour, cornstarch, salt, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, basil, oregano, thyme and pepper in a gallon Ziploc bag. Seal bag; shake to combine ingredients. Set aside.
• Whisk together egg white and milk in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Scrub skins of potatoes. Slice off the ends of the potatoes and discard. With a sharp knife, slice the potatoes into 1/4-inch slices. (See Tip 6)
• While the potato slices are still damp, add 5 to 6 slices to breading mixture in Ziploc bag. Shake to coat. Remove from breading to a piece of parchment paper or large baking pan. Repeat with remaining potatoes.
• Dip coated 5 to 6 coated potatoes in egg white/milk mixture; add to breading mixture in Ziploc bag. Toss to coat; remove to parchment paper or large baking pan. Repeat with remaining potatoes.
• Heat oil in large skillet over medium to medium-high heat to 350°F. Fry batches of potatoes 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle salt on potatoes while still hot. Repeat with remaining potatoes.
• Yield: 4 servings. (See Tip 7)

CRISPIEST EVER POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Add the potatoes to a large saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Add the baking soda and 1 tablespoon salt to the water. Cover, place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Uncover and continue to boil until the potatoes give easily when pierced with the tip of a knife, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and set the strainer over the top of the pan for a few minutes so the outsides of the potatoes can dry.
• Dump the potatoes onto a baking sheet. Drizzle with the oil and toss with the garlic, thyme and rosemary until the potatoes are completely coated in the oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Using a small juice glass or glass bowl, smash each potato firmly but gently. (You want to just crack the skins and flatten slightly while keeping the potatoes mostly intact.)
• Roast until the bottoms of the potatoes are deep golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip the potatoes using a spatula. Roast until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on both sides, an additional 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a platter with a metal spatula. Serve while hot.

SHAKEY'S MOJO POTATOES

Steps:

• Bake the potatoes in the oven at 425F for about 1 hour, let cool. (I rub olive oil on my potatoes, then wrap in foil, my preference)
• Cut each potato into 1/4" rounds.
• Heat oil to 375°F
• Stir together the flour, cayenne, thyme, garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste. (you can adjust seasonings to your liking)
• Dip each potato wedge into the milk (can add egg if you want), then dredge thoroughly in the seasoned flour mixture.
• Deep fry wedges without overcrowding, until crisp and golden.
• Drain on paper towels and serve.
