New twist on low carb deep fried fish n fries

[Doug Varrieur]

Umpa and I enjoy deep fried fish n fries about twice per month. My normal procedure is to dredge the food in beaten egg before coating it with ground hot and spicy pork rinds. Last night I added a new ingredient, sour cream! The food was more savory as well as more crispy.

Would work for chicken fingers too, right?

PS - what's your favorite type of oil for frying?

[o0OSusieO0o]

oh yum, i got to have some fiber with this so I'd either add flax meal with the pork rinds and/or some veggies on the side.

That's a good question sunshine bc I don't eat seafood but love chicken

Same recipe on any fried foods except onion rings. Onion rings require a shake in dry Glucomen powder before a wet dredge. My fav oil for deep fry is peanut oil but it's more expensive than vegetable oil which also works fine.

It came out very crispy and finger licking

Glad you liked it

Hmm no vegetable oil left, can't get peanut oil, well only if I buy 5 gallons, lol. 
I've only got 1 lb coconut & big bottle of olive oil 

Got pork skin w/ lots of fat under it, in my freezer too.
