- 2 large eggs
- 2 lb potatoes
- 2 cup vegetable oil

Instructions

Cut the 2 lb potatoes into thin sticks and soak in cold water for 10 minutes. Pat dry thoroughly with a clean towel.

Heat 2 cups vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high until a pinch of flour sizzles. Fry the chicken strips in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.
