Notes
Tips: If you do not have Panko Breadcrumbs, use regular breadcrumbs instead but do not skip the double coating. This is to prevent them from cracking open while frying. Also gives a good crispy crust.
Use Russet Potatoes the ones with darker skin outside, The yellow ones tend to have more moisture in them.
