### 👩‍🍳 How to Make Chicken Fried Potatoes

1. **Prep the potatoes:** Wash and slice potatoes into thin rounds (about ¼ inch thick). Soak in cold water for 20–30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry.

2. **Heat the oil:** In a heavy skillet (cast iron works best), heat ½ inch of oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.

3. **Mix the dredge:** In one bowl, whisk together flour, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne. In a separate bowl, add buttermilk or whisk together milk and one egg.

4. **Dredge the potatoes:** Dip potato slices into the milk mixture, then coat in seasoned flour. Shake off excess and set aside on a rack or tray.

5. **Fry in batches:** Carefully add potato slices to the hot oil in a single layer. Fry 3–4 minutes per side or until golden and crispy. Don’t overcrowd the pan.

6. **Drain and serve:** Remove fried potatoes and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with a bit of salt while hot. Garnish with herbs if desired.
