This approachable version uses basic pantry staples and a straightforward prepping method, so you can enjoy restaurant-worthy Mojo Potatoes straight from your own kitchen in under an hour.
Why Mojo Potatoes Are a Must-Try
What makes Mojo Potatoes so irresistible is their combination of a golden, spiced crust and tender, creamy middle. The zesty, herby seasoning wakes up the flavor of simple potatoes, and a dip of your favorite sauce truly makes them sing. This crowd-pleasing snack is a winning choice for parties, family dinners, or weekend treats—plus, they’re even easier (and less messy) to whip up at home.
Simple Prep: Effortless Cuts and Crispiness
For even, perfectly sized potato slices, employ the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper. This ensures every piece fries up crispy, soft inside—no kitchen knife skills required. After slicing, a quick parboil helps the Mojo Potatoes achieve their signature texture.
Pro tip: if you want them even crispier and less greasy, try air frying using the COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1, Compact & Large 6-Qt; you’ll get all the crunch with a lot less oil.
The Secret to Flavorful Coating
The soul of Mojo Potatoes is their spiced, savory crust. Mix together flour, garlic and onion powders, paprika, and dried herbs. Dredge each slice for an even coat—this is where the magic happens. A quick dredge and rest allows the mix to stick and crisp beautifully during cooking. Use a SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch for easy frying and worry-free cleanup.
Want a splatter-free bake? Line your tray with Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll so nothing sticks and the crust stays intact.
Serving and Dipping Suggestions
Serve Mojo Potatoes hot and enjoy their crispiness right away! Pair them with a side of ranch, garlic aioli, or a spicy sriracha-mayo. For parties, arrange them in a bowl or on a tray to share—a disposable Pureegg Plastic Table Cloth Disposable 10 Pack, White keeps cleanup simple and stress-free.
