Smothered Chicken

INGREDIENTS
1 quart vegetable oil for frying
4 lbs. chicken, cut into pieces
Salt and pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
8 red potatoes, quartered
3 cloves 
 

DIRECTIONS
1. In a large skillet, heat oil for frying. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper to taste. Flour the chicken lightly twice.
2. Drop coated chicken into hot oil slowly to prevent splatters. Fry until golden brown.
3. Boil potatoes. When potatoes are soft, remove from heat. Set water aside.
4. When chicken is done, drain oil out of the skillet and place the potatoes in the skillet with the chicken. Slowly pour the set aside water over the skillet mixture.
