How To Make MOJO POTATOES

For Frying:

1. Vegetable oil (for deep frying)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes

1. Fill a large pot with water, add the salt, and bring to a boil.
2. Slice the potatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Keep the skin on for added texture and flavor.
3. Parboil the potato slices in the boiling water for 5 minutes. This helps ensure the inside is tender after frying.
4. Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. Set them aside to cool completely.

Step 2: Prepare the Breading Mixture

1. In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper.
2. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and beaten eggs until smooth.

Step 3: Bread the Potatoes

1. Take each potato slice and dip it into the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
2. Next, dip the floured potato slice into the buttermilk and egg mixture, allowing any excess liquid to drip off.
3. Return the slice to the flour mixture for a second coating, pressing gently to ensure the breading adheres well.
4. Repeat this process with all the potato slices. Place the breaded slices on a tray or plate, ensuring they don’t overlap.

Step 4: Fry the Potatoes

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Use enough oil to submerge the potato slices completely.
2. Fry the potato slices in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook each batch for 3–4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
3. Use a slotted spoon to remove the potatoes and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
