Ingredients
- 6–8 small potatoes, skin on
- 60 g fried chicken breading mix (about ½ cup; weight varies by brand)
- 63 g all-purpose flour (about ½ cup)
- 32 g cornstarch (about ¼ cup)
- 1 tsp paprika, optional
- Salt, to taste
- Ground black pepper, to taste
- 3 medium eggs, beaten
- Cooking oil, enough for frying
- Dipping sauce of choice, for serving, optional
How to Make It
- Scrub and rinse the potatoes thoroughly, keeping the skins on.
- Slice into even rounds about 6 mm thick (¼ inch).
- Drain and pat the potato slices dry.
- Combine the chicken breading mix, flour, cornstarch, paprika if using, and a little salt and pepper.
- Beat the eggs in a separate bowl.
- Transfer a small portion of the flour mixture to another plate for the first coating.
- Lightly dredge each potato slice in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess.
- Dip into the beaten eggs and let any excess drip off.
- Coat again in the remaining flour mixture, pressing gently so it adheres.
- Arrange the coated slices on a rack or tray while heating the oil.
- Heat enough cooking oil for frying over medium heat.
- Carefully add the potatoes in batches without overcrowding the pan.
- Fry for about 3–4 minutes per side, until golden and crisp and the centers are tender.
- Transfer to a wire rack to drain.
- Taste and lightly season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve immediately with your preferred dipping sauce.
Kubo Tips
- Cut the potatoes evenly so the centers cook through at the same time.
- Dry the slices before coating so the first layer of flour sticks more evenly.
- Chicken breading mix already contains seasoning, so add extra salt sparingly.
- Use one hand for the egg and the other for the dry coating to reduce buildup on your fingers.
- If the coating browns before the potato becomes tender, lower the heat.
- Fry in small batches and let the oil recover between batches.
- Drain on a wire rack in a single layer so trapped steam does not soften the coating.
- Serve freshly fried for the best crunch.
