Potato Knish!

I don't have a recipe for you!

Why?

Because I need a yummy Potato Knish recipe!

There are a few deli's on Long Island,

that have the perfect Fried Potato Knish!!!

When I lived down there, 

I would stop for a Knish once a week.

They are so good.

My favorite ones had a almost bread crumb shell.

So I'm now looking for a place that sells them

up here where I live now. 

And then I want to master them!!!

I want to create the Best potato knish recipe!

If you have never had one, find one near you and try it.

NYC has them on every corner just about!

Wish me luck!

Potato Chip Chicken

Amazing Recipe!

So you've all prolly had about every kind of chicken you can find.

Some people haven't tried potato chip chicken so here is the recipe

I used and found to be wonderful.

Potato Chip Chicken

2 large boneless chicken breasts (cut into strips)

Combine Crushed Potato Chips with Parmesan cheese and pepper. 

Dip chicken strips in egg and then roll in chip mixture. 

Bake in a 350 degree oven till cooked through

or 

Fry in 1 cm of olive oil in med heat.

If you choose to fry the chicken strips make sure heat has had 

at least 4 minutes to heat, otherwise potato chip mixture will fall off

of the chicken and you'll end up with oily plain chicken.

I'll post pictures of the desired outcome. 

This is the crispiest chicken I've ever had!

Enjoy!
