Everything fried tastes good: 3 case studies

(In case you can't tell, I don't always take my "cooking" very seriously.  There was more thought that went into the last 2 recipes, but let's be honest, it's fried stuff.)


Case Study 1: World's Quickest Dinner

Ingredients:

A sliced potato
Lots of olive oil
Sliced onions
Garlic
Cheese

Using the oil, fry the shit out of the onions and garlic.  Add potatoes.  Fry the shit out of those.  Scrape onto a plate.  Add cheese.  Microwave if you are too impatient for the cheese to melt.  Maybe add sriracha.  Inhale.

At one point there was more food on this plate.

Case Study #2: Risotto Balls

Ingredients:

Homemade risotto with crushed red pepper and garlic (too complicated to write out in this post, look it up elsewhere)

Bread crumbs

Parmesan cheese

Egg

A bunch of fresh mozzarella cubes

A shit ton of oil

Beat egg.  Mash together risotto with egg, bread crumbs and cheese.  Form into balls.  Stuff cheese in the middle of each.  Roll in bread crumbs.  Fry the hell out of said balls (at 375 degrees, drain them off on a paper towel), then serve with warmed pasta sauce.  Boom.

Risotto mush

Cubes and Balls

Case Study #3: Onion Rings

Ingredients: 

An onion, sliced into big rings

Some combo of flour, baking powder, dark beer, and maybe an egg
More shit tons of oil

Make batter.  Dip onion rings in said batter.  Fry at 375 degrees.  Absorb extra oil on a paper towel.  Dip in many delicious condiments.  Eat.

I don't remember what I used; it doesn't REALLY matter which recipe you pick.  My batter looked like this.

Yum.
