This is an easy filling snack to make, and has the advantage that you can prepare the coated slices ahead, refrigerate and then deep fry when ready to eat. Ingredients:
3 large potatoes |
8 ounces fresh white breadcrumbs |
4 ounces parmesan cheese, freshly grated |
2 eggs, beaten |
1/2-1 tablespoon cayenne pepper (adjustable to suit your heat tolerance) |
oil, sufficient to deep fry |
Directions:
1. Slice potatoes fairly thickly and cook in boiling water until just tender.
2. Drain completely.
3. Mix the breadcrumbs, grated parmesan and cayenne pepper in a shallow bowl.
4. In a separate shallow bowl, pour in the beaten eggs.
5. Dip potato slices in the egg and then coat them generously with the breadcrumb mixture.
6. Deep fry in batches until a golden brown crisp coating is achieved; this may take 4-5 minutes.
7. Drain thoroughly on a paper towel, garnish and serve.
