Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 pounds (1.36 kilograms) russet potatoes
- 2 cups (240 grams) all-purpose flour
- Oil for frying
Liquid Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups (360 milliliters) milk
- 1 egg
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning (optional)
Instructions
- Thoroughly cleanse potatoes and slice into uniform wedges, ensuring each piece maintains a consistent 3/8-inch thickness for even cooking.
- Submerge potato wedges completely in cold water, allowing them to soak for a minimum of 60 minutes or preferably overnight to remove excess starch.
- Create an egg mixture by whisking milk and egg together until completely integrated and smooth.
- Combine dry ingredients in a separate container, blending flour with seasonings including salt, garlic salt, onion powder, black pepper, and poultry seasoning.
- Preheat cooking oil to precisely 350°F (175°C) using a deep-fry thermometer for accurate temperature monitoring.
- Coat potato wedges by first rolling them in seasoned flour mixture, then dipping into egg wash, and finally returning them to flour mixture for a complete, even breading.
- Allow breaded potatoes to rest on a wire rack positioned over a baking sheet, permitting coating to set and adhere for approximately 5-10 minutes.
- Carefully lower potato wedges into hot oil, frying in small batches for 5-6 minutes until initial golden coloration develops, then transfer to wire rack for draining.
- Return partially cooked wedges to oil for an additional 3-4 minutes, achieving a crispy, deep golden exterior, then immediately serve after final draining.
Notes
- Soak potatoes thoroughly to remove excess starch, ensuring crispier and more even-textured wedges.
- Pat potatoes completely dry before coating to prevent oil splattering and achieve maximum crunchiness.
- Double-frying technique creates an incredibly crisp exterior while maintaining a soft, tender interior.
- Experiment with spice blend by adjusting seasonings to match personal taste preferences or dietary needs like low-sodium or gluten-free options.
