Nov 18th, 2008 Posted in Potatoes | Comments Off

Ingredients

  • Potato – 1 large, cut in wedges plus an extra 75g (3 oz)
  • Plain flour – 90g (3½ oz)
  • Baking powder – ½ tsp
  • Salt
  • Milk – 125 ml (4 fl oz)



Directions

Microwave or boil the wedges until they are just cooked.

Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a basin. Slowly whisk in the milk and, when absorbed, beat well.

Finely grate the remaining potato into a sieve and wash well under cold running water. Press well to remove excess moisture. Add the grated potato to the batter and mix well.

Dip the cooked wedges into the potato batter and then deep fry at 190 ºC (375 ºF) for 2-3 minutes until crisp and golden.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups frozen vegetables
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked chopped chicken
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 4 baking potatoes
  • extra cheese for topping

Wash and scrub potatoes. Pierce with fork and wrap each in foil. Bake in 400 degree oven for about 45 minutes or until potatoes are done. Test potatoes for doneness by squeezing gently; if done, potatoes will be slightly soft and the skin will be somewhat crusty.

Cook vegetables covered in water until tender. Drain. Stir in chicken, dressing, and cheese. Halve potatoes and loosen potato pulp. Spoon chicken cheese mixture over potato halves. Top with cheese. Place potato halves in preheated oven and bake a couple of minutes or until cheese melts. Serve and enjoy!!
