  • How to make MOJO POTATOES Recipe

    How to make MOJO POTATOES Recipe

    Ingredients:

    These potatoes are ideal for nibbling or serving as an appetizer due to their crispy outside and tender inside. These snacks gained popularity thanks to Shakey’s Pizza and are incredibly addictive. This pizza store was first established in Singapore at Lucky Plaza in March 2022, extending its presence from the Philippines and the United States. Therefore, it functioned as a subtle hint that I really should do this. Here is my interpretation that closely imitates it. I have also made my own rendition of their dip as I am unable to accurately identify its flavor.

    Mojo-infused potatoes

    Potatoes are a kind of food.

    (I used russet potatoes) Between 500 and 600 grams Thoroughly rinse, thoroughly scrub, and promptly pat dry. A single large egg, with its shell removed, sliced into pieces that are 1/2 inch thick.
    25 milliliters of milk
    Blend of spices and herbs
    1/2 cup of all-purpose flour 1/2 cup of cornstarch 1/2 teaspoon of salt
    Could you perhaps clarify whether you are referring about a measurement of 1/4 teaspoon of paprika?
    3/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
    1.75 tablespoons of onion powder

    0.5 teaspoons of thyme
    0.25 teaspoons of ground black pepper
    0.5 teaspoons of cayenne
    Recipients (Blend)
    0.5 pound of mayonnaise
    0.25 teaspoons of garlic powder
    50% concentration of lemon juice

    PREPARATION:

    Pepper, salt, and smoked paprika, all in a little amount

    Please remember Blend all the ingredients by carefully mixing them together.

    Blend the egg white with the milk. Ensure thorough mixing of all components. Eliminate from the equation

    2. Thoroughly mix all of the spices.

    3. Apply the spice combination to the potato after immersing it in the wet mixture. Discard any excess starch and spice by tossing. Set aside. Proceed with the remaining potatoes using the same method. Allocate a duration of around 10 minutes.

    4. Increase the temperature of the oil to about 160 degrees Celsius. An alternative is to immerse a wooden chopstick into the oil to determine its temperature. Once the oil around the chopstick begins to form bubbles, it indicates that it has reached a sufficiently enough temperature for usage.

    5. Ensure that the pan is not overcrowded while deep frying the potato pieces. Cook the edges of the fish in the deep fryer until they become brown. If the browning process is occurring too rapidly, decrease the heat slightly. Transfer to a cooling rack to allow excess oil to drain. Proceed with the remaining potatoes using the same method. Each batch required around two minutes of my time.

    6. Increase the temperature of the oil by raking it. Extend the frying time of the potatoes by an additional thirty seconds. Subsequently, place it on the cooling rack. Proceed with the remaining potatoes using the same method.

    Step 7: Garnish with your choice condiment and savor!

    Step-by-Step Preparation

    1. Prepare the Dough

    a. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
    Begin by preheating your oven to 190°C (375°F). In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks with sugar and vanilla sugar until the mixture becomes frothy and light. This will take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.

    b. Add Oil and Yoghurt:
    Gradually add the oil while continuing to beat, followed by the natural yoghurt. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated, creating a smooth batter.

    c. Combine Dry Ingredients and Fold In:
    In a separate bowl, mix the flour, poppy seeds, and baking powder. Slowly add this dry mixture to the wet batter, folding gently until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake dense.

    2. Bake the Cake

    a. Prepare the Baking Tray:
    Line a standard baking tray (about 30×40 cm or 12×16 inches) with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the prepared tray, spreading it evenly with a spatula to ensure the cake bakes uniformly.

    b. Baking Time:
    Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake at 190°C (375°F) for approximately 35 minutes. The cake is done when it springs back lightly when touched, or a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

    c. Cool the Cake:
    Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. This step is important to ensure that the glaze sets properly later on.

    3. Prepare the Glaze

    a. Melt the Chocolate:
    In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir occasionally until smooth.

    b. Add Butter and Oil:
    Once the chocolate is fully melted, add the butter and 1 tablespoon of oil, stirring continuously until the butter has melted and the glaze is glossy and smooth.

    4. Glaze the Cake

    a. Apply the Glaze:
    Pour the warm chocolate glaze over the completely cooled cake, spreading it evenly with a spatula to cover the entire surface. Let the glaze set at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes or until firm.

    Serving Suggestions

    This Poppy Seed  Cake is perfect as a sweet treat with coffee or tea. Slice it into squares or bars for easy serving. It’s a great option for potlucks, parties, or just a simple family dessert.

    Tips for the Perfect Poppy Seed Cake

    • Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your eggs and yoghurt are at room temperature for a smoother batter and better texture.

    • Storing the Cake: Keep the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If refrigerated, it can last up to a week.
    • Freezing Option: This cake freezes well! Wrap individual pieces in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. Thaw at room temperature when ready to serve.

    • Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your cream cheese and butter are at room temperature before mixing to achieve a smooth and lump-free consistency.
