🔥 Calories: Approximately 250 per serving (2 scallops)
🧾 Ingredients:
🥔 2 large potatoes
🌾 1 cup all-purpose flour
🌽 2 tbsp cornflour
🥄 1 tsp baking powder
🧂 ½ tsp salt
🌶️ ¼ tsp black pepper
💧 ¾ cup cold water (approximately)

👩🍳 Cooking Steps:
1️⃣ Prepare the Potatoes: Peel the potatoes and slice them into rounds about 5–7 mm thick.
2️⃣ Make the Batter: In a bowl, combine flour, cornflour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in cold water until you have a smooth batter that coats the back of a spoon.
3️⃣ Heat the Oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep, heavy-based pan and heat to 175°C (350°F).
4️⃣ Coat the Potatoes: Dip each potato slice into the batter, ensuring it's evenly coated.
5️⃣ Fry Until Golden: Carefully lower the battered slices into the hot oil in small batches. Fry for about 4–6 minutes, turning as needed, until golden and the potatoes are tender.
6️⃣ Drain & Serve: Remove the potato scallops and drain on a wire rack or paper towels. Let them cool slightly and serve hot with lemon wedges or your favorite dipping sauce.
