Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 boneless pork chops cut into strips
  • 2 large potatoes, peeled and grated
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil for deep frying

Instructions

  1. Prep Pork Chops (10 minutes): Season the boneless pork chop strips with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  2. Set Up Breading Station (5 minutes): Place the flour in a shallow dish. Beat the eggs in a separate dish. Spread the grated potatoes on another plate or shallow dish.
  3. Coat Pork Chops (10 minutes): First, dredge each pork chop strip in flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip them into the beaten eggs. Finally, press the pork chops into the grated potatoes, ensuring an even and thorough coating.
  4. Heat Oil for Frying (5 minutes): Fill a deep fryer or a large, deep skillet with enough vegetable oil for deep frying. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Deep Fry Pork Chops (6-10 minutes per batch): Carefully lower the potato-coated pork chops into the hot oil. Fry them until they are fully cooked inside and the potato coating is crisp and golden brown, which should take about 3-5 minutes on each side. Check that the internal temperature of the pork reaches at least 145°F (63°C).
  6. Drain and Rest (5 minutes): Remove the pork chops from the oil and let them drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving and enjoying!

Notes

Ensure the grated potatoes are as dry as possible before coating the pork chops to achieve the crispiest texture. You’ll also want to keep the oil at a consistent temperature during frying to ensure the pork chops cook evenly and don’t absorb excess oil.

This dish is a delightful blend of traditional flavors and innovative cooking techniques, perfect for those looking to enjoy a familiar dish with a delightful twist. Enjoy!
