It’s just that no one can beat a fresh, golden Potato Scallop, freshly out of the fryer. Over The Top Kebabs Fish & Chips’ takeout favourite is crispy and deserves to be one of the best sides they offer.
It never fails – whether you’re looking for a snack or more substantial food to accompany your meal. One of those things that is always crisp, satisfying and simple, to say the least, to draw in customers to the takeaway menu.
Crispy Potato Scallop for a Classic Start
It’s simple and timeless; this will never go out of style, and once you try one of these fresh foods, you’ll know why. It is very crisp on the outside and soft and tender on the inside – like cutting into a potato, dipping it in the batter and frying it until crispy on the outside.
A good old standard that can be served in just about any meal; either on the side or part of a larger dish. It’s the combination of the crispy batter and soft potato that makes it a good and reliable favourite.
Simple Ingredients, Big Flavour
This golden side doesn’t require a lot of ingredients to be delicious – which, after all, is the point. All it takes is a light batter, light oil and just potato to make something crispy and satisfying. It’s a simple approach that’s largely one reason it’s been a popular choice for years with customers.
A Snack That Suits Any Time
Whether it’s lunch, dinner, or just a quick bite somewhere in between, this crispy piece slides in pretty easily. It doesn’t need any special occasion to be enjoyed, and that’s part of why it stays popular with all kinds of customers, whatever they’re craving.
Golden Potato Slices with a Crunchy Finish
The secret to a fried favourite is to get that crispy golden crust just right. Every slice is then covered with a batter and then fried until it is a deep golden colour, whereupon it develops the characteristic crunchy texture that customers enjoy. This gives a crispy exterior with a warm potato centre underneath. This is why we love every bite we eat – it is the contrast of crunchy and soft. We do not take anything lightly.
The Perfect Batter Coating
This side is coated with batter, and the signature “crunch” can be attributed to that. If it isn’t thick enough, it’s too heavy, if it’s too thin, it simply doesn’t crisp into its desired form. That’s the key to finding an average slice and a great slice, and to finding the balance between the two.
Cooked Until Golden
The proper cooking temperature is important to fry a potato so the batter is not burned, but cooked in an even manner inside the potato. It’s this careful process that ensures every serve has a reliable, crisp finish on a batch-by-batch basis.
A Favourite Side for Fish and Chips
It’s hard to find a more perfect match than fish, chips and a Potato Scallop. The crispiness provides a nice balance with the flaky fish and the gold coloured fish chips, making it a complete meal that is satisfying.
For many customers, this combination has become the typical selection for a single order, as they wish to get a little of everything. It’s easy, it’s traditional and, above all else, it always does the trick when you’re looking for a good take-away dinner.
A Classic Combination
This golden favourite is a perfect addition to fish and chips to make it a balanced and familiar meal. All of them add their own texture and flavour and therefore are more interesting when combined than when they are presented individually.
Adds Extra Crunch to Your Meal
The side is also crispy and is a great complement to the softness of the fish. It may make for a far more satisfying menu on the whole for a fish and chip meal.
Crispy Sides for Kebab and Takeaway Meals
This fried classic is more than just for fish and chips orders; it’s great with kebabs and other take-out favourites, too. It has a light flavour and crisp texture, and it comes with very little effort of adding it to almost any dish on the menu.
Many people will add 1 or 2 extra to their kebab to give them some extra crunch and a variety of flavours to the plate. That’s because it is so versatile that it is always a popular option, no matter what the meal is.
Works Well with Kebabs
This crispy side has a delicate flavour which complements the stronger flavors you’ll find in a kebab. It provides a good crunch, doesn’t overpower the other ingredients, and is easy to add for a pretty effective crunch.
A Popular Takeaway Add-On
Many people opt to have a side of this golden favourite with their preferred meal. It’s a simple, quick and inexpensive addition to the plate.
