Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Place potatoes in a medium bowl and cover with cold water.
Step 2
Mix together flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper in a separate medium bowl. Add milk and egg; stir until batter is smooth. Let stand for 20 minutes.
Step 3
Heat oil in a large pot or electric skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 4
Drain and pat dry potatoes. Fry in hot oil until tender, about 5 minutes; drain on paper towels.
