GRANNY'S BUTTERMILK FRIED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Sprinkle both sides of pork chops lightly with seasoning salt. I like Garlic & Pepper Seasoning salt, but Lawry's is good, so is Old Bay.
• Place chops into a ziplock bag and pour in the buttermilk. Squeeze air out of the bag before you close it, and mush it around a little to make sure that all chops are coated with the buttermilk. LeT stand in the fridge for several hours.
• In a pie plate, mix together flour, 1/8 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp seasoning salt. more or less to your taste.
• Heat oil in a large heavy frying pan to medium high heat. Oil should reach slightly less than 1/2 inch deep in the pan.
• Dip buttermilk coated chops in flour mixture making sure that it is completely coated. Repeat with all chops.
• When oil is hot, add chops and let cook uncovered for about 2 minutes. Turn down heat to medium low and let cook uncovered until bottoms are browned and red juices start to accumulate over the bones.
• Turn over with tongs, cover pan with a lid, then turn down heat slightly and let cook until browned on the bottoms.
• Transfer to a sheet of crinkled foil. Wrap foil loosely around chops and let rest for about 5 minutes.

GRANNY'S FRIED POTATO SLICES

Steps:

• You have to wash the potatoes before using them and then either peel them or leave skin on, then slice them across width ways into slices.
• Mix the salt, baking, flour together in a mixing bowl, gradually add the water to it until it is the consistency of batter.
• Preheat enough cooking oil in the either deepest frying pan you have or deep fryer to properly cook the potato slices.
• Dip the potato slices into the batter you have made until coated on both sides and then place in the hot cooking oil and fry until golden brown and cooked. Then serve them.
• You can use whatever you like on them, for example, salt and vinegar, salad dressing, gravy, etc. Number of servings or amount depends on the size of family you have or how much you can eat at one time.
