What foods are good deep-fried?

Some of the best foods for deep-frying include potatoes (like fries or wedges), chicken, onion rings, cheese sticks, and dough-based snacks like the frying saucer. The key is using foods that cook quickly and hold their shape. Anything with a crispy outer layer and soft center makes for excellent deep-frying.

What is a frying saucer?

A frying saucer is a disc-shaped piece of dough filled with savory ingredients such as meat, cheese, or vegetables. It’s folded, sealed, and deep-fried until golden and crispy. It’s similar to a flat empanada or hand pie but thinner and crunchier, making it a unique snack or appetizer.
