Homemade battered potato scallops are a delicious and crispy treat that can be enjoyed as a snack or a side dish. This recipe uses simple ingredients and a straightforward process to create perfectly golden and crispy potato scallops that are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash and peel the potatoes.
- Slice the potatoes into even, thin rounds, about 1/4 inch (6mm) thick. Try to keep the slices uniform for even cooking.
- In a large bowl, combine the self-raising flour, salt, and black pepper.
- Gradually add the sparkling water to the flour mixture, whisking continuously until you get a smooth, thick batter. The batter should be the consistency of thick cream.
- Pour the peanut oil into a deep fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed pot. The oil should be about 2 inches (5 cm) deep.
- Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C). You can use a kitchen thermometer to check the temperature. If you don't have one, drop a small bit of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface immediately.
- Once the oil is hot, dip each potato slice into the batter, ensuring it is completely coated.
- Carefully drop the battered potato slice into the hot oil. Continue this process with a few more slices, but be careful not to overcrowd the pot.
- Fry the potato slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the potato scallops from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Repeat the frying process with the remaining potato slices.
- Serve the potato scallops hot, with your choice of dipping sauces or a sprinkle of extra salt if desired.
Tips:
- Ensure the oil is at the right temperature (approximately 180°C or 350°F) before frying to achieve the perfect crispy texture.
- Pat the potato slices dry before battering to remove excess moisture and help the batter adhere better.
- Use sparkling water for the batter to add lightness and create an airy, crispy coating.
- Do not overcrowd the frying pan; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking and prevent the temperature of the oil from dropping.
- Drain the fried potato scallops on paper towels to remove excess oil and keep them crispy.
By following this recipe, you'll be able to create mouth-watering homemade battered potato scallops that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. With just a few ingredients, you can enjoy this delightful dish anytime. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy the taste of homemade goodness.
