Potato Scallops
Ingredients :
1-1/2 lb. large old potatoes
2 cups self-raising flour
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1-3/4 cup water
oil for deep frying
extra flour
Instructions :
1) Peel and wash potatoes, cut into thin slices, about 1/8-inch in thickness,
dry well. Sift flour, salt, pepper into bowl, make a well in center, gradually
add water, mixing to a fairly thick coating batter; beat until smooth and free
of lumps
2) Coat potato slices lightly with extra flour, shake off excess. Dip each slice
into prepared batter, making sure potato slices are well covered. Drain excess
batter from each slice before frying.
3) Heat oil in large pan (test heat of oil with a small piece of potato, as for
potato chips); Deep-fry potato slices a few at a time, until lightly golden.
Remove from oil, drain on absorbent paper. Increase heat of oil slightly, add
the potato scallops, re-fry until rich golden brown. Drain again, sprinkle with
salt.
