  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 cup fine dry bread crumbs
  • vegetable oil

Peel and cut potatoes into 1/4-inch slices. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Beat eggs with water in a shallow bowl or pie plate. Put bread crumbs in shallow bowl or spread out on waxed paper. Dip potatoes in beaten eggs, then in crumbs.

Pour about 2 inches of oil into a heavy skillet and heat to 370°, or use a deep fryer. Fry the prepared potato slices, a few at a time, until golden. Drain briefly on paper toweling and serve hot.

"I've made this recipe and although it is ok, it does not compare to the fried sweet potatos that contain the sugar in them or the casseroles. for those that can't have sugar or a lot of it , this may be a good recipe for them."
