1 3/4 cups freshly grated Parmesan
1 1/2 cups panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
3 medium zucchini, cut into 3-inch long by 1/2-inch wide strips

Steps:

  • Pour enough oil into a large frying pan to reach a depth of 2 inches. Heat the oil over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F.

Tips:

  • Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Soak the potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before frying: This will help to remove excess starch and prevent the potatoes from sticking together.
  • Dry the potatoes thoroughly before frying: This will help them to crisp up.
  • Use a large skillet or Dutch oven for frying: This will give the potatoes plenty of room to cook without overcrowding.
  • Heat the oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit before adding the potatoes: This will help to prevent the potatoes from sticking to the pan.
  • Fry the potatoes in batches: This will help to prevent them from overcrowding and sticking together.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are golden brown and crispy: This should take about 5-7 minutes per batch.
  • Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings: Serve the potatoes hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
