Jojo Potatoes Recipes

JO JO POTATOES

Steps:

• First of all, preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
• Then, toss all of the dry ingredients into a gallon-size Ziploc bag and shake to combine. The measurements there for the seasonings are guidelines--feel free to alter them as you wish, or measure them in your palm and skip the measuring spoons altogether. So long as you start with approximate amounts of the bread crumbs, flour, and Parmesan, you can't really go too far wrong.
• Then, cut your potatoes into wedges--I generally get about 8 wedges from each potato, but the important thing is not the number, but that they're more or less evenly sized, so they all cook at the same rate.
• Dunk your wedges in the melted butter, then shake them, a few at a time, in the Parmesan mixture, and arrange on a greased or parchment-lined cookie sheet. Stand them up with the skin side on the bottom if you can, but if they want to lay on their sides instead, that's fine--just flip them halfway through the cooking time.
• If you have any leftover butter, drizzle it over top of the potatoes before you pop them into the preheated oven. Or don't, if all that butter scares you.
• Bake for about 35 minutes or until they're tender and browned,.

Steps:

• In a shallow dish mix flour, garlic powder, lemon pepper, celery salt, onion powder and seasoning salt.
• Dip potato wedges in egg, then in spice mixture.
• Heat deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place potatoes in hot oil, and fry until golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes. Cook in batches to maintain oil temperature. Drain briefly on paper towels. Serve hot.

MAKE THE BEST JOJO POTATOES EVER

Steps:

• Wash potatoes, and cut them into quarters. Place potato quarters into a bowl of water. Prepare seasoned flour by combining 2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon garlic salt together in a bowl. Place 2 cups of buttermilk in another bowl. Batter potatoes by placing them in the seasoned flour, shake off excess flour. Place potatoes into the buttermilk, and coat the potatoes well. Place potatoes back into the seasoned flour and coat well. Shake off excess flour. Place the potatoes on a wire rack to rest for about 5 minutes before cooking. Preheat oil in a deep fryer to 350 degrees. Cook potatoes for 8 to 12 minutes or until they are brown, and they float. Drain on a clean wire rack.

REAL JO JO POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep fryer or pan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). If making in a pan, make sure the oil is at least 2 inches deep.
• In a pie plate, mix flour, garlic powder, lemon pepper, celery salt, onion powder and seasoning salt. (Sometimes I do this in a ziploc bag.).
• Dip potato wedges in egg, then dredge in flour/seasoning mixture.
• Place potatoes gently in hot oil, and fry until golden brown (about 5 to 7 minutes).
• In order to maintain the oil temperature it is best to cook them in smaller batches. This of course depends on your method of cooking and the size of your fryer.
• Drain on paper towels. Serve hot.
