Crispy Potato Stacks

Hey all!
Today we have a great fall side dish!  Crispy Potato Stacks.  We found this from Byron Talbot who we follow on YouTube.  We really enjoy his videos and dishes he makes.  Chef wanted to make this video for a while now and finally did it.  He has to admit it was so simple too!  It is one of those ideas that looks so complex but is not at all.  We do hope you check out the blog post to see the full recipe and check out Bryon as well!  This side dish is Gluten Free too.


Prep Time: 5 Minutes
Cook Time: 10 Minutes
Total Time: 10 Minutes
Serves: 4-6

Ingredients:
Russet Potatoes
Salt
Frying Oil

Directions:
Pour your cooking oil in a pan and heat up to 350 degrees.
Set your mandolin to a very fine or thin setting.  If you don't own one you can use a knife. Be careful with either one.
Slide the potato making slices and keep going until you are almost all the way through.  No ER Visits please!
Then throw out the top and bottom few slices.  You really only need the middle.  Put the stacks back together making it look like the potato again.
Cut the all four sides of the potato removing the skin and squaring off the potato.
Cut it down the middle and place aside.
Do not place in water.  Water will wash the starch off and then they will fall apart in the oil.
Slowly place the squares in the oil slowly and let cook.  Move them around a bit so they don't stick and monitor.
After about 5 minutes check and remove if golden brown. 
Then season with salt and plate up with ketchup.

Here they are!


They came out really well we will add.  Chef was nervous at first but they did hold and tasted so good.  The crunch outside and soft inside.  They also looked really fun and different.  These would go good with a steak or other disk like that.  Check out the video of Chef making this below to see how easy it was!


As you can see it really was simple.  Chef has wanted to try this since he saw it on Byron's channel.  He was nervous at first but then after trying it found they wee so simple to make!  He said he will make these again for sure.  A special shout out to Bryon Talbot for this creative idea!  His links are below so be sure to check those out!  The other cool thing is you can even make these as an appetizer!  We just listed them as sides.  The past few videos we have made have only had a few key ingredients and by far they have been so fun to make!  We can't wait for our next one.  Fall time is one of our favorites!  We hope you are all having a fun and spooky October!

Remember,
Cooking should be FUN, have FUN doing it!
