1 whole frying chicken, skin on, in sections
peanut oil, enough to make a 3/4" deep pool in a cast iron skillet

DREDGE # 1
3/4 c bisquick®
1/4 c cornstarch
1 tsp table salt
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp sage, dried & ground
1/2 tsp thyme, dried & ground
DREDGE # 2

1 pkg classic lay's® potato chips, finely crushed to about the size of rolled oats

Steps:

  • 6. Drop chicken in the hot oil and fry for about 8 minutes on the first side and about 6 on the second [you'll know when it's about done--- it'll be deep and golden!].

PARTY POTATOES (AKA WHITE TRASH POTATOES)



PARTY POTATOES (AKA WHITE TRASH POTATOES) image

Categories     Potato     Side     Bake

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

26 oz. bag frozen hash browns
1/2 c melted butter
4 oz. sour cream
1 can soup (recipe calls for cream of mushroom, Dianne uses cream of celery)
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese
1 large onion, finely chopped
salt and pepper to taste
crumbled potato chips, fried onion rings, bread crumbs crushed Ritz crackers - anything crunchy.

Steps:

  • Let frozen hash browns thaw a little to make mixing easier. Mix all ingredients together, put in a lightly greased 9 x 13 pan and bake at 350 for approximately 45 minutes. Remove from oven, stir well and sprinkle with crunchy topping. Return to the oven and bake an additional 15 minutes. This dish is vegetarian, but ground beef and garlic can be added. Dianne has used Italian sausage or chicken mango sausage with Parmesan and Romano cheeses. Gruyere and cheddar can be used rather than just cheddar. Use your imagination. She does.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or russet potatoes are ideal for this recipe because they hold their shape well and become tender when cooked.
  • Cut the potatoes into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Soak the potatoes in water: This will help to remove excess starch and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Use a large pot: The potatoes need plenty of room to cook properly.
  • Bring the water to a boil before adding the potatoes: This will help to prevent the potatoes from becoming mushy.
  • Season the water: Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to the water to flavor the potatoes.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are tender: This will take about 15-20 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly: This will help to prevent them from breaking apart.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Butter, sour cream, cheese, and bacon are all popular choices.

Conclusion:

White Trash Potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
