Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Do not peel the skin.
Parboil the potato slices in salted water for about 5 minutes until slightly tender but still firm. Drain and set aside to cool.
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together to create a smooth egg wash.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Dip each potato slice into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge it in the flour mixture. Ensure the slices are evenly coated.
Carefully lower the coated potato slices into the hot oil in batches. Fry each batch for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried potatoes from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off excess oil.
Serve the mojo potatoes hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or garlic aioli.
