Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1.5 cups Breadcrumbs
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and scrub the skins clean. Do not peel.
Step 2
Slice the potatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Pat them dry with a towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs to form the wet batter.
Step 4
In another bowl, combine all-purpose flour, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Place the breadcrumbs in a separate shallow dish for dipping.
Step 6
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat (about 350°F).
Step 7
Dip each potato slice into the flour mixture, making sure it's well-coated.
Step 8
Next, dip the floured potato slices into the milk-egg mixture.
Step 9
Press the potato slices into the breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating on all sides.
Step 10
Carefully place the coated potato slices into the hot oil. Fry in small batches to avoid overcrowding, cooking for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
Step 11
Remove fried potato slices with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 12
Serve warm with your favorite dips such as ranch, ketchup, or garlic mayonnaise. Enjoy!
