About This Article
To make Shakey’s style mojo potatoes, peel 4 to 6 potatoes and slice them into quarters. Soak the potatoes in water for 2 to 6 hours. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 eggs and ¼ cup (60 mL) of water. Soak the potatoes in the water and egg mix for 15 minutes, then coat them in crispy fried chicken breading mix. Pour enough cooking oil into a frying pan to completely cover the potatoes. Heat the oil to 350° F (177° C) and carefully place the potatoes in the pan. Deep fry them until the breading turns golden brown, then remove them from the oil and set them on a rack. Let the potatoes cool for 5 minutes before serving them with Caesar salad sauce and cheese dip. For more Cooking tips, including how to make Shakey’s cheesy dip for your mojos, read on!
