Yes, you read that right! When I stumbled onto this recipe at the beautifully curated blog, Apron of Grace, I almost clapped my hands in delight! Mabel’s Potatoes call for small red potatoes, peeled. I’ll let Apron of Grace‘s recipe and images do the talkin’! Enjoy!

Apron of Grace‘s recipe and suggestions by me!

Mabel’s Potatoes

12 small potatoes

1/2 c. flour

seasonings to taste  (I used seasoning salt and parsley, but can add garlic powder, etc.)

lard/oil

Boil potatoes till the skin just starts splitting.  About 10 minutes or so (try this Michael Graves Kitchen Timer)! The potatoes do not need to be cooked thoroughly in the boil.

Take from the stove, drain and cool in cold water.

Gently peel the skin of the potatoes off. (Kenmore Stainless Steel Y-Peeler)

Mix the flour and seasonings and roll the potatoes one by one very gently.

Heat 2 inches of oil in a pot to deep frying stage at 325 degrees. (Or try this Waring Professional Deep Fryer from Crate & Barrel! It’s just under $50.00!

Drop the potatoes in very gently, I set mine on a spoon and lower them in.

When one side is browned, turn to the other side.

Drain on towel and serve warm.
