Mojo Fries Recipes

Steps:

• Bake the potatoes in the oven at 425F for about 1 hour, let cool. (I rub olive oil on my potatoes, then wrap in foil, my preference)
• Cut each potato into 1/4" rounds.
• Heat oil to 375°F
• Stir together the flour, cayenne, thyme, garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste. (you can adjust seasonings to your liking)
• Dip each potato wedge into the milk (can add egg if you want), then dredge thoroughly in the seasoned flour mixture.
• Deep fry wedges without overcrowding, until crisp and golden.
• Drain on paper towels and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Coat 2 sheet trays with nonstick spray.
• Cut potatoes into 1/4-inch strips using a mandoline and pat dry. Divide the potatoes between the sheet trays and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper and spread the potatoes in a single layer. Bake until the potatoes are golden brown and crisp, about 35 minutes, turning once with a spatula halfway through baking.
• Remove the potatoes from the oven and while still hot, toss with the lime zest, garlic, parsley, cilantro, mint, and red pepper flakes. Serve hot.

• FRY chicken about 13-15 minutes, until golden brown and fully cooked, depending on chicken portions/sizes (juices should run clear when chicken is done); DRAIN chicken on paper towels; MAINTAIN frying fat temperature for each new batch until all chicken is fried; KEEP chicken warm in preheated 170°F oven.
