amazing potat-wows

i dont know what made me try this but i did and the end results are AMAZING.

i got the roto-slicer kitchenaid attachment for my wedding shower and i used it to shred up some cabbage for egg rolls and thats it. i had a bag of potatoes sitting around that needed to be used so i thought...hmmm...maybe i should use my slicer thing and fry them up! personally i dont like fresh potatoes fried...im a spoiled american and when i think of fried potatoes it isnt what fresh potatoes fried come out like. but i gave it a shot anyway. man did it pay off. i fried them until they were just crispy around the edges and then kind of just mixed up two of my seasonings that i like a lot and sprinkeled it on there! they were so good every time i emptied the basket of my fryer into the bowl there werent any left the next time i dumped! the best way to describe them is like the fried potatoes that you get at a fair, or the rodeo, or somewhere like that. the stand where the guy has a drill hooked up to a peeler and is making the twisty fries. just like that except better!!!!

here they are all sliced up in a bowl. i decided to try them with the skins on this time because it take WAY to long to peel all those potatoes. i took this pic when i was already about half way done! i made a HUGE batch so i could give them away!




here they are a cookin'....sizzzzzzzle sizzle




just about done!



the mix of spices i used were Bolner's Fiesta Brand Hamburger Deluxe http://www.fiestaspices.com/?page=bbq_hamburgerdelux, and Golden Chicks "Lotta Zing". http://www.goldenchick.com/ the one and only golden chick we have here in SA sells the stuff by the bottle instead of tiny little packets. it adds just a PINCH of spice to them!



and here is the finished product! man they are so good its really really hard not to eat them all! they are crispy around the edges and soft and moist in the middle. the perfect combo!
