SHAKEY'S MOJO POTATOES

"Here's another one of my California recipes, I just had sitting around I thought I'd share. It's a recipe for MoJo Potatoes (or French Fries) from a popular west coast Pizza Franchise called Shakey's Pizza. Give it a try."

2 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon butter, slightly melted
4 cups flour
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
canola cooking oil
fresh potatoes
All Season salt

Mix together eggs, milk, and butter in a bowl. Place flour, thyme, and cayenne in second bowl.

Cut each potato into 6 (1/4-inch thick) rounds.

Place oil 3 inches deep in frying pan

Place potato rounds in egg mixture covering completely, then roll potatoes in flour mixture. Place potatoes on cookie sheet while others are battered.

Once all potatoes are battered drop in frying pan. Make sure oil covers the potatoes completely. If needed add more oil. Once golden brown, and cooked, drain from oil and add All Season salt. Serve.
