DAD'S FAVOURITE FRIED POTATO SLICES



Dad's Favourite Fried Potato Slices image

This is really my Dad's recipe which he taught me to make here in Orlando, FL - USA! We were too tired to cook anything fancy, so this seemed to be what dad wanted to eat with Potato Bread from Walgreens and some Heinz Tomato Ketchup on the side. I am amazed at how simple this recipe is and yet, how nice it tastes! In my opinion, this is the best thing you can make quickly when guests topple in all of a sudden. I also feel this makes for a nice picnic snack. This is a popular appetiser too in India! Enjoy!

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 potato, washed,peeled and sliced in thin concentric circles
water, as required
salt, as required
oil, to deep fry
1 1/2 cups gram flour (known as "besan" in Hindi)
1 cup water
1 teaspoon red chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander leaves

Steps:

  • Wash, peel and slice a medium-sized potato into thin concentric circles.
  • Make sure you slice the potato thin and not thick.
  • Pour 2 1/2 cups of water in a bowl.
  • Add salt to taste (2-3 tsps) and mix well.
  • Add the potato slices to this salted water.
  • Mix well.
  • Keep aside for 10 minutes.
  • In a medium sized bowl, make a thick batter with your besan flour, red chilli powder, baking soda, salt and 1 cup of water.
  • Now drain out the water from the potato slices.
  • Dip the slices of potato in the gramflour batter.
  • Allow the slices to be coated with the batter on both sides.
  • Heat oil in a frying pan while you are doing this.
  • Once the oil is hot, and the slices are ready, drop them gently into the oil.
  • I ALWAYS make it a point to lower the flame/heat when adding the slices of potato to the hot oil.
  • I dont want ANY MORE spillovers or kitchen fires!
  • Let the slices fry in the oil.
  • Once the slices are golden brown on one side, turn over and allow them to fry the same way till they are golden brown on the other side.
  • Remove from the pan once fried and drain the excess oil on a clean paper kitchen towel.
  • Transfer to a serving plate.
  • Serve immediately (HOT) with Tomato ketchup and white/potato bread.
  • You can also serve this with green chutney.
  • Enjoy!
  • NOTE: The secret of making this very well is to slice the potato thin and not thick.
  • If you slice the potato thick, then, the potato will not cook and remain raw even once fried!

GRANNY'S FRIED POTATO SLICES



Granny's Fried Potato Slices image

I like this recipe because it is fairly easy to make, is quick to cook and inexpensive to make. I got the recipe from my father's mother when she was alive many years ago and she got it off of a lady she knew during the Great Depression of the 1930's. One tip I would like to make is to always make sure when cooking this recipe to have the cooking oil not only cover the top of the slices but underneath the slices as well in the deepest frying pan you have or deep fryer that you can also use. If you or your family like french fries a lot, then I am sure you will these, they are tasty but I am afraid addictive like french fries and fattening but enjoy them anyway!

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for frying, as they have a high starch content that helps them crisp up nicely.
  • Slice the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent some pieces from being overcooked while others are still raw.
  • Soak the potatoes in water: This will help remove excess starch and prevent the potatoes from sticking together during frying.
  • Use a hot skillet: This will help the potatoes sear quickly and create a crispy crust.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the potatoes will steam instead of fry and they won't be as crispy.
  • Season the potatoes: You can season the potatoes with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or any other desired spices before frying.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: Fried potato slices are best served hot and crispy. Leftovers can be reheated in a toaster oven or air fryer.

Conclusion:

These fried potato slices are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a quick snack or a hearty meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying side dish, give these fried potato slices a try!
