  3. Heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet.
  4. Fry potato rings in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  5. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Notes

For a lighter version, you can bake the potato rings at 425°F for about 25-30 minutes after spraying with oil. You can also experiment with different potato types like sweet potatoes, or add cheese to the breadcrumb mixture.
