Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Drain and pat dry potatoes. Fry in hot oil until tender, about 5 minutes; drain on paper towels.

Step 2

Fry potatoes again in hot oil until crisp, 1 to 2 minutes; drain on paper towels.

Step 3

Place sliced potatoes in a medium bowl and cover with cold water.

Step 4

Mix flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper together in a separate medium bowl. Add milk and egg; stir until batter is smooth. Let stand for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a large pot or electric skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
