fried okra
(2 ratings)
Another one of my Mom's recipes, she never liked fried okra when the crust fell off and half of it burned. So she combined her method and experience with a 1988 Southern Living recipe, and changed to this one. Each piece of okra will be deliciously crisp with the crust intact.
