Mojo Potatoes
Description
Mojo Potatoes begin with unpeeled potatoes sliced thinly and coated in a seasoned flour mixture containing all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, garlic salt, and celery salt. After dipping the slices in beaten egg, they are deep-fried at 375°F until golden and crispy, about 5 to 7 minutes. The garlic salt and celery salt add a distinctive savory note that complements the potato’s natural flavor.
The texture balances a crunchy coating with soft potato inside. These potatoes are a flavorful alternative to regular fries due to the seasoned coating and the method of breading before frying. Served hot with ranch dressing or sour cream, they make a satisfying snack or side dish.
To avoid burnt potatoes, it’s important to keep the frying oil at the right temperature and to shake off excess flour before frying. Cooking the potatoes immediately after breading keeps them looking fresh and prevents browning. This recipe is best enjoyed freshly fried.
