Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 2 medium russet potatoes
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper (to taste)
- 1 cup peanut oil ((or any frying oil) enough to cover the bottom of a medium pan)
Instruction
- Scrub or peel potatoes. Slice crosswise to ⅛-inch thickness; about 12 to 14 slices.
- They don't have to be perfect, but the slices should be the same thickness for frying.
- Meanwhile, in a medium-size frying pan or saucepan, heat the oil to 350 degrees F.
- In a small bowl, mix together flour, salt, and pepper then dredge the potato slices in the flour to coat all sides, shaking off excess.
- Carefully drop a few battered potato slices in the heated oil and deep fry for about 1 to 2 minutes.
- After 1 to 2 minutes, then turn the slices over and continue to fry for another 1 minute.
- You can check for doneness by carefully sticking a fork into the potato. If the prongs of the fork go easily into the potato, they are done. Remove from the oil and place them onto a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Sprinkle with a little more salt and allow them to drain onto paper towels.
- Allow them to cool about 3 to 5 minutes before serving with ketchup or dipping sauce of your choice.
