PERFECT FRIED POTATOES

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large pot of salted water over medium-high heat, bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook until just fork-tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and transfer to a baking sheet. Let rest for 10 minutes; this will allow the potatoes to steam and release excess moisture.
• In a small bowl, mix the sea salt, pepper, smoked paprika, cayenne and onion powder.
• Fill a large Dutch oven with 2 inches of oil and heat over medium heat to 375 degrees F. Carefully add half the potatoes and fry until golden brown and crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Right before removing the potatoes, add a sprig of rosemary and half the sliced garlic to the oil and cook for 15 seconds. With a fine-mesh strainer, remove the batch to a medium bowl. Toss with half of the seasoning mix, then transfer to a paper towel-line baking sheet to drain. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, rosemary, garlic and seasoning mix.

MOM'S FRIED RED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Cut tomatoes into thick slices. Put aside.
• Mix flour, salt and pepper in shallow dish for coating.
• Heat butter and olive oil in pan, until it's hot enough to fry inches.
• Pre-heat oven to warm setting. (Lowest setting).
• Coat tomato slices in flour mixture.
• Place in pan until gloden brown.
• Place on baking sheet and place in warm oven until ready to serve. (I think they taste better if put in the oven for a little bit because it crisps them up a bit.).

FRIED GREEN TOMATO CAPRESE

Steps:

• Add an inch of vegetable oil to a skillet and heat to 350 degrees F.
• Mix the flour and seasoning salt in a shallow dish. Add the eggs to a second shallow dish and beat together. Add the panko to a third shallow dish.
• Dredge a few slices of the tomatoes in the seasoned flour, then dip them in the egg and lastly cover them in the panko breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate and repeat with the remaining tomato slices.
• Fry the tomatoes in batches until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes per batch. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with flaky sea salt and pepper.
• When you are ready to assemble the salad, arrange the fried tomatoes and mozzarella on a platter, alternating between the two. Drizzle over the balsamic glaze in a thin stream, then sprinkle over the basil leaves and serve immediately.

FRIED RED TOMATOES WITH SOUR CREAM AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Cut tomatoes into 1/2-inch slices. Sprinkle with coarse salt and cracked black pepper. Place flour, eggs, and crumbs in separate shallow bowls. Heat the oil with a dollop of butter, in a medium skillet on medium heat. Dip the tomato slices in the flour, then the eggs, and then crumbs. In batches, fry half the coated slices at a time, for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Coat the remaining tomatoes in the flour, egg and bread crumb mixture, and cook. Remove the tomatoes to a warm serving tray. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream, crumbled crisp prosciutto, and a sprinkle of fresh chopped chives.
