how do i make scallops?

jenjade

when i was a kid we often had pototo slices thinly and deep fried to make a scallop type chip... anyway thing have moved on an deep fat fryer no longer exsists.

how can i make them without one? if i cut the potato into think slices and oven with oil will they come out any good or will they be like roast potatoes?

I am pregnant and really fancy some!

Thanks for your time and help in advance

Don't they have batter on ?

I do this with left over new potatoes... Just slice and fry them in a little butter and oil! You could do that with larger potatoes

i use a smallish wok - for deep frying stuff - works a treat

You should only eat phantom (shellfish) scallops if you only have a phantom pregnancy!
Just looked them up on Google,now i think i am pregnant!

no ours used to be like chips. no batter or anything. all the recipes i have found are about soaking in milk? i dont think ours were like that

might try frying in a wok that should work thanks

Slice then to about 1/2 cm thick,dust them in flour & shallow fry in oil,then just before serving,add some butter & baste them till golden.That's how my mom used to do them.

We used to buy 2 or 3 "scallops" from our chippy.........with our chips,fluffy soft batter but we never knew if there was anything else inside!........they were about 5 old pence each,

ohhh scollops! I'd forgotten about them they are slices [rings] of potato dipped in batter then deep fried. Our chippy used to sell them and my mum used to make them.
