MAKE THE BEST JOJO POTATOES EVER

Steps:

• Wash potatoes, and cut them into quarters. Place potato quarters into a bowl of water. Prepare seasoned flour by combining 2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon garlic salt together in a bowl. Place 2 cups of buttermilk in another bowl. Batter potatoes by placing them in the seasoned flour, shake off excess flour. Place potatoes into the buttermilk, and coat the potatoes well. Place potatoes back into the seasoned flour and coat well. Shake off excess flour. Place the potatoes on a wire rack to rest for about 5 minutes before cooking. Preheat oil in a deep fryer to 350 degrees. Cook potatoes for 8 to 12 minutes or until they are brown, and they float. Drain on a clean wire rack.

THE PERFECT STEAK WITH JOJO FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F. Allow the chill to come off the steaks for 30 minutes prior to cooking, then pat them dry with paper towels.
• Sprinkle the steaks on both sides with salt and pepper. Place on a sheet tray, then scatter the garlic cloves and herbs evenly on top of the two steaks. Roast until the steaks are rare and the internal temperature reaches 120 degrees F, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat a pot of several inches of canola oil to 375 degrees F over medium heat. Set up a sheet tray with a roasting rack. Whisk the garlic powder and paprika into the flour in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Pour the flour mixture into a gallon-sized bag.
• Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan.
• Dip each potato wedge in the melted butter, then drop into the bag of flour. Shake the potatoes in the flour mixture, evenly coating, then place on the roasting rack. Let sit until ready to fry.
• Preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot, then add a film of olive oil followed by the steaks. Sear the steaks on one side until deep golden brown and crusty, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and sear on the other side until golden brown, another 2 to 3 minutes. During the final minute of cooking, add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the pan along with the herbs and garlic. When the butter has melted, baste the steaks. Remove to a cutting board to rest for at least 5 minutes or up to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, finish making the JoJo fries: Drop the coated potatoes in the hot oil in small batches and fry until golden brown and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes, bringing the oil back to 375 degrees F in between batches. Remove to the roasting rack and season with salt.
• Slice the rib eyes and place on a plate. Serve with a pile of JoJo fries.

JO JO POTATOES

Steps:

• First of all, preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
• Then, toss all of the dry ingredients into a gallon-size Ziploc bag and shake to combine. The measurements there for the seasonings are guidelines--feel free to alter them as you wish, or measure them in your palm and skip the measuring spoons altogether. So long as you start with approximate amounts of the bread crumbs, flour, and Parmesan, you can't really go too far wrong.
• Then, cut your potatoes into wedges--I generally get about 8 wedges from each potato, but the important thing is not the number, but that they're more or less evenly sized, so they all cook at the same rate.
• Dunk your wedges in the melted butter, then shake them, a few at a time, in the Parmesan mixture, and arrange on a greased or parchment-lined cookie sheet. Stand them up with the skin side on the bottom if you can, but if they want to lay on their sides instead, that's fine--just flip them halfway through the cooking time.
• If you have any leftover butter, drizzle it over top of the potatoes before you pop them into the preheated oven. Or don't, if all that butter scares you.
• Bake for about 35 minutes or until they're tender and browned,.
