Real Jo Jo Potatoes

When I want Jo Jo's....I don't want a baked version....I am looking for the diet wrecking kind. Sometimes I do these in wedges...sometimes I slice them in rounds. We often serve these when we are making fried chicken in our turkey fryer and all diet bets are off. We have to do this at least once a year for a deck party and everyone loves it!

• Ready In: 50 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon lemon pepper
• 1⁄4 teaspoon  celery salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon seasoning salt
• 4  potatoes, srubbed, unpeeled and cut into 1/2 inch thick wedges
• 1  egg, beaten
•  vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

1. 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.
2. 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.).
3. Dip potato wedges in egg, then dredge in flour/seasoning mixture.
4. Place potatoes gently in hot oil, and fry until golden brown (about 5 to 7 minutes).
5. 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.
6. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot.
