Heh, good one 🙂 I stopped by the store on the way home and got some squash, just typing the recipe made me crave it. ---

Heart attack be damned. Here is my favorite use of my fryer. Hard boil 6 large eggs Peel and dampen the eggs Dip eggs in sugar Dip eggs in bisquick Fry for 2mins For best results, don’t use any wimpy vegtable oil. I use real lard. Great breakfast eating. ---

Get a package of Pillsbury biscuits. Take each chunk of biscuit dough and poke your thumbs through the center and pull, making a hole, so that it looks like a doughnut. Drop them into the deep fryer. They’ll float on the surface – once the first side browns, flip them over and brown the 2nd side, then remove to a plate with a paper towel for draining and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Best damn doughnuts you’ll ever have. ---

Best damn doughnuts you’ll ever have. We made these in Home Ec in 8th grade. They were excellent! And deep fried eggs, huh? Who knew? How can I NOT try that?! ---

> [@cbawlmer](#): > > A local restaurant makes the best beer-battered onion rings I’ve ever had, and I’m dying to try making those at home too. Anybody got a good recipe for those? This makes a thin, crispy coating. Good for mushrooms, too. 1 cup flour 1 cup beer pinch of salt pinch of ground black pepper Fry at 365 degrees until golden brown. ---

Does your veggie ban extend to the chile family? Chile Rellenos and Jalapeno poppers are among the finest uses of hot oil available on earth. ---

A couple of variations on popular recipes. Try salmon in fried fish recipes. It’s amazingly good. And slice up a green pepper and substitute it for onion rings. ---

> [@Cervaise](#): > > I make tostones every now and then. Very easy and very tasty Latin American snack or side dish. > > Ingredients: 1 plantain per 2 people. Note that these taste far more like french fries than like fried bananas. But not exactly like french fries. I second a vote for trying these. But of course, if heart attack be damned, then it’s obviously deep fried batter dipped Twinkies. Wrapped in bacon. ---

MMMM good. 😛 Seriously though, the fried Twinkies I’ve seen at the fair scare even me a little. They also have fried Snickers bars now. ---

On the deep fried egg theme, it’s hard to go past scotch eggs - hard boiled eggs, peeled, wrapped in raw sausage meat, rolled until thickly covered in breadcrumbs, then fried. Holy cholesterol. Extremely tasty. ---

Thanks, **AllShookDown** , I’ll give it a try. The other day at work we were discussing “healthy” items to bring to our monthly birthday potluck, and I suggested bacon-wrapped fried cheese. I meant it as a joke, but then I started wondering how best to make those. If I wrap a cheese stick in bacon, secure with toothpicks, then dunk in some sort of batter, will the bacon cook quickly enough before everything else gets soggy? Or am I going about this all wrong? ---

If your deep fryer is large enough, you might try deep frying a turkey. Though the fire department suggests doing it outdoors with a fire axtinguisher nearby. ---

Deep fried turkey is mmm good, but my fryer isn’t big enough for anything more than a basket of fries, fortunately (or else I’d have to fry a turkey every other week for the DH, who is a turkasaurus). Turkey legs might work though.
