Deep Fried Potato Slices Recipes

UNCLE BILL'S COATED AND DEEP FRIED POTATOES

Steps:

• Scrub or peel potatoes. Slice crosswise to 1/8 inch thickness; about 12 to 14 slices. Slices should be the same thickness for deep frying.
• Place sliced potatoes in a dish and cover with cold water while preparing the dredging flour and the batter.
• In a mixing bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of flour, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and pepper; set aside to use for dredging.
• In a separate mixing bowl, mix together 1/3 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and pepper and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder.
• In a small mixing bowl, beat egg and add 1/2 cup of beer and whisk until blended.
• Pour egg/beer mixture into the flour mixture and stir until well blended and the batter is smooth.
• Meanwhile, in a medium size frying pan or saucepan, heat the oil to 350°F.
• Drain the sliced potatoes and shake off any excess water.
• Dredge the potato slices in the flour to coat all sides.
• Now dip the slices in the batter and coat well on all sides.
• Drop a few batter coated slices in the heated oil and deep fry for about 1 minute, then turn over and continue to fry for another 1 minute.
• When done, remove to paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
• Serve with ketchup, yogurt or sour cream.

CRISPY FRIED POTATO SLICES

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and cut in half.
• Add them to cold salted water and bring to the boil
• Cook for 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are fork tender and not falling apart. Drain and let cool slightly.
• When cool enough to handle, cut the potatoes into slices and sprinke liberally with salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan on a medium-high heat. Once hot add in a few potato slices at a time. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
• Remove from the oil and place on kitchen paper to drain. Repeat with the rest of the potato slices.
• Sprinkle with salt and garnish with fresh herbs to serve.

• Add the potato slices to this salted water.
• Mix well.
• Keep aside for 10 minutes.
• In a medium sized bowl, make a thick batter with your besan flour, red chilli powder, baking soda, salt and 1 cup of water.
• Now drain out the water from the potato slices.
• Dip the slices of potato in the gramflour batter.
• Allow the slices to be coated with the batter on both sides.
• Heat oil in a frying pan while you are doing this.
• Once the oil is hot, and the slices are ready, drop them gently into the oil.
• I ALWAYS make it a point to lower the flame/heat when adding the slices of potato to the hot oil.
• I dont want ANY MORE spillovers or kitchen fires!
• Let the slices fry in the oil.
• Once the slices are golden brown on one side, turn over and allow them to fry the same way till they are golden brown on the other side.
• Remove from the pan once fried and drain the excess oil on a clean paper kitchen towel.
• Transfer to a serving plate.
• Serve immediately (HOT) with Tomato ketchup and white/potato bread.
• You can also serve this with green chutney.
• Enjoy!
• NOTE: The secret of making this very well is to slice the potato thin and not thick.
• If you slice the potato thick, then, the potato will not cook and remain raw even once fried!
