Title: Simple Dinner
Post by: ACW3 on February 04, 2015, 09:05:02 AM
Not sure if this is where to post this one because it has some chicken and beef in the menu.

I decided that I must finally break out the deep fat fryer and try the defatted, buttermilk and sriracha soaked chicken skins.  I also planned to take the potatoes that I had peeled for my pan seasoning and slice them up into thin strips for some pomme frits with a SV steak.  I had soaked the potatoes in cold water and changed the water several times.  When it came time to cook the pomme frits, I cooked them at 300 degrees for about 5 minutes and let them drain on paper towel.  When I started to cook the steak in my seasoned Lodge pan, I put the fries back in the oil at 350 degrees.  They crisped up very nicely. 

First things first.  The cook needs a drink.

Here are the chicken skins ready to take the hot oil plunge.

A money shot of the chicken skins.  I didn’t coat them with anything like flour or corn starch.  I might try that with the ones I did not cook.

My plate.

Good food.  My wife loved the chicken skins as well as the main meal.

WTG Art..my MIL always soaked her potatoes before she cooked and made the best fried taters ever. It helps with the starch.  Pam  .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.

I love fried chicken skins.  YUM!

It looks like that double frying technique really works well for fries. Next time I do fries, I need to try it.

That is a small olive oil "storage tank".  Good for storing olive oil and keeping out any sun light.  You will see much bigger versions in the oil/balsamic vinegar stores.  I bought it a number of years ago in such a store because it was different, had a real purpose, and would look good in my kitchen.  I believe it is from Italy, as I recall.
