Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin, even rounds, about 1/8-inch thick. Use a mandoline slicer for uniformity, if available.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the sliced potatoes and blanch for 2 minutes. Drain and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a medium bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, dried oregano, and paprika. Mix well to form the dry coating mixture.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk to form the wet batter.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed skillet or frying pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature.
Dredge each potato slice in the dry coating mixture, then dip it into the egg-milk batter, and finally coat it again in the dry mixture. Ensure each slice is evenly coated.
Carefully fry the potato slices in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each batch for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried potato scallops with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese or fresh parsley for garnish, if desired.
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauces or as a side dish!
