Potatoes Recipes: Ingredients of Spicy Potato
Crispy Potato Mojos! Super easy and yummy snack or appetizer for your next get-together. Potatoes
dipped in fried chicken mix = AMAZING.
SCALE1x2x3x
INGREDIENTS
4 potatoes, washed
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups fried chicken breading mix, like Shore Lunch brand or Oven Fry brand
Oil for frying
INSTRUCTIONS
. Cut the unpeeled potatoes into thin slices, about 1/4 inch thick. The thinner you cut them, the more
crispy (like chips) they will get. I like to cut some a little thicker and some thinner.
. Place 1-2 cups oil (about one inch deep) in a large frying pan. Heat oil over medium heat until
water sizzles across the top. While oil is heating, dip potato slices in milk and coat with the fried
chicken breading mix.
. Carefully drop potatoes into the oil right away (so the batter doesn’t get soggy) and fry for 2-3
minutes on each side, adjusting heat as necessary.
. Remove and drain on a paper towel lined plate. Serve with ranch, ketchup, cheese, or any other
kind of sauce.

POTATO PANCAKE
YIELD
Makes about 24 pancakes
INGREDIENTS
.
1 medium onion, peeled
4 large russet or Idaho potatoes (about 3 1/2 pounds), peeled
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
Applesauce and/or sour cream, for serving
PREPARATION
.
Preheat oven to 200°F. Place 2 nonstick baking sheets in oven.
. Using box grater or food processor fitted with grating disc, coarsely grate onion and place in colander set in
sink. Coarsely grate potatoes, add to colander, and set aside to drain.
. In large mixing bowl, lightly beat eggs, then whisk in flour.
. Press potatoes and onion to extract as much liquid as possible, then add to egg/flour mixture. Season with
salt and freshly ground black pepper. Using wooden spoon or hands, mix well, but do not overwork.
. In heavy-bottomed, 12-inch skillet over moderately high heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter
until hot but not smoking. Drop 4 scant 1/4-cup portions of potato mixture into pan and flatten with spatula
to form four 3-inch pancakes.
. Fry until bottoms are golden-brown, 4 to 5 minutes, then turn over and fry until golden-brown and crisp, an
additional 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain; season immediately with salt and pepper. Keep
warm on baking sheets in oven while making remaining pancakes.
. Using paper towels, carefully wipe out pan. Add 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter and fry 4 more
pancakes. Repeat with remaining batter, wiping out pan and adding 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter
before each batch.
. Serve pancakes hot with applesauce and/or sour cream.
Classic Latkes: The Easiest, Simplest Method
YIELDMakes 12 (4-inch) latkes
SHOW NUTRITION
INGREDIENTS
1 large egg
1 teaspoon kosher salt
EQUIPMENT
Mixing bowl
10- to 12-inch cast iron skillet
Fish spatula
Fork
Paper towels
INSTRUCTIONS
Heat the oven and fit one baking sheet with paper towels and
another with a cooling rack. Arrange a rack in the middle of the
oven and heat to 200°F. Line 1 rimmed baking sheet with a double
layer of paper towels. Fit a wire cooling rack into another baking
sheet. Set both aside.
.
.
Prepare the potatoes. Scrub the potatoes well, but do not peel. Cut
each potato in half crosswise.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Pour off the liquid, but keep the potato starch. Give the liquid a few
minutes to allow the potato starch to settle and then pour off and
discard the liquid but leave the potato starch.
.
.
.
.
Heat the oil. Place the oil or schmaltz (or a combination of the two) in
a large skillet so that when melted there is a depth of 1/4 inch (for a
10-inch skillet you'll need 1 cup of melted oil/schmaltz). Heat over
medium-high heat until a piece of the latke mixture sizzles
immediately.
.
.
Form latkes one at a time. Scoop 1/4 cup of the mixture onto a fish or
flat spatula. Flatten with your fingers to a 4-inch patty.
.
.
Fry the latkes until golden on both sides. Slide the latke into the hot
oil, using a fork to nudge the latke into the pan. Repeat until the pan
is full but the latkes aren't crowded. Cook until deeply golden-
brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side, adjusting the heat if necessary.

RECIPE NOTES
Make ahead: Latkes are best made and served right away. They can be fried and kept
warm in a 200°F oven for up to 30 minutes.
Doubling: The recipe can be doubled, although you will need an extra sheet of
cheesecloth to squeeze the extra potato and onion shreds. The oil (and schmaltz, if
using) will need to be replaced halfway through frying. Pour the used oil into a
heatproof bowl, wipe out the skillet, then heat fresh oil and continue frying.
