Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium-sized potatoes washed
- 4 cup (960 ml) water
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) rock salt
- 1 cup (240 ml) yogurt or buttermilk or sour cream
- 1 packet chicken breading mix – about a cup
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) paprika powder optional
- 1–2 cup (360 ml) s oil for frying
Instructions
- Pour water into a saucepan and heat until it reaches a boil on medium flame. As the water heats up, slice the potatoes, keeping the skin on, into ¼ inch thick rounds.
- Once the water is bubbling, add the salt, followed by the potato slices. Let them cook for 3 minutes. Pour everything into a strainer to remove the water and allow the potatoes to cool slightly.
- Move the potato slices into a mixing bowl. Add the yogurt and mix until every slice is evenly covered.
- Pour 1-2 cups of oil into a large skillet, ensuring it reaches about ¾-inch in depth. Warm the oil over medium heat until a drop of water sizzles when added.
- Combine the chicken breading mix and paprika on a plate or shallow dish. Take each potato slice and coat it completely with the breading mixture.
- Gently place the coated potatoes into the hot oil immediately to prevent the coating from becoming soggy, and fry them for 2-3 minutes per side until they are golden brown, adjusting the heat as needed.
- Take the fried mojos out and place them on a plate lined with a paper towel or a rack to drain excess oil.
- Arrange the cooked potatoes in a basket or serving dish and serve them with gravy.
