Potato Pancakes

If you are “deep frying” the oil should be at least 350 degrees. Any lower and the oil will get soaked in and the item will be oily. The only exception is when making French fries, we would cut the potatoes, soak in salt water over night, then “blanch” the fries in oil that is about 300-325. At service time the fryer is set at 365 and the fries would be cooked at this higher temp. I have found that Rice bran oil is about the best to fry in. Peanut oil also.
