Ingredients
  

For the Potato Wedges:
  • 3 pounds Russet potatoes
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning (optional)
  • Oil for frying

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Sharp knife
  • Frying pan or deep fryer
  • Slotted spoon or spider
  • Paper towels

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes - Wash the Russet potatoes thoroughly and cut them into wedges about 1 inch thick.
  2. Step 2: Soak the Wedges - Soak the cut wedges in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
  3. Step 3: Make the Batter - Whisk together flour, salt, garlic salt, onion powder, black pepper, and poultry seasoning. In another bowl, combine milk and egg, then mix with dry ingredients.
  4. Step 4: Heat the Oil - Heat about 2 inches of oil in a large frying pan or deep fryer over medium-high heat.
  5. Step 5: Coat the Wedges - Remove wedges from water, pat dry, and dip each into the batter.
  6. Step 6: Fry the Wedges - Fry the coated wedges in batches for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Step 7: Season and Serve - Sprinkle with extra salt while hot and serve immediately with dipping sauces.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, ensure the oil is hot enough before frying.
  • Try different dipping sauces like ranch or spicy mayo for variety.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
