A unique twist on proper Scotch eggs.

Ingredients

  • 10 small Golden Idaho® potatoes (approximately the size of an egg, washed, boiled in salted water, and cooled)
  • 1 ½ lbs breakfast sausage
  • ½ cup flour
  • 2 eggs (beaten)
  • 1 ½ cups breadcrumbs
  • olive oil (as needed for frying)

Instructions

  • Take some breakfast sausage into the palm of your hand and press into a flat shape.
  • Next, place a potato in the center of the sausage and wrap it around to cover the potato completely, forming it into an egg shape.
  • Roll the "egg" in flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs, then set aside on a tray. Repeat with the rest of the potatoes.
  • Place oil in a deep-fryer, or heavy pot (I used a wok) and heat over medium-high heat.
  • When the oil is hot, add the Scotch potato "eggs" carefully, with a metal skimmer, or similar tool, a few at a time, turning often until they are golden brown in color, and the sausage is completely cooked.
  • Remove from oil and place on paper-towel lined plate. Continue to fry the remaining Scotch potato "eggs."
  • Let cool slightly and serve for breakfast,  brunch, or as a snack or a side-dish.

Notes

  • Note: these are not egg-free.
