I made a dipping sauce to go with these, but they are good just as is.
CRISPY COATED POTATO WEDGES
(serves 4)
Ingredients:
*4-5 medium potatoes (I use Russet, Yukon Gold, or Idaho), washed and cut into wedges
*1 large egg
*1 cup whole milk
*1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
*1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
*1/2 teaspoon corn starch
*2 teaspoons garlic powder
*1 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
*1/2 teaspoon paprika
*1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
*1/2 teaspoon chili powder
*1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
*1 teaspoon salt
*2 teaspoons ground black pepper
*Vegetable oil (about 6 cups or so. enough to cover a layer of potatoes easily)
*freshly grated parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions:
~Wash and cut potatoes into about 1 1/2 inch wedges.
~In medium bowl, whisk egg and milk together until well mixed.
~In another medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, corn starch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, chili powder, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper together until well mixed.
~Dip all the potatoes into the flour mixture and set aside.
~Place a cooking rack on a baking sheet (if you don't have one, just use the baking sheet).
~Dip potatoes into egg mixture coating all sides.
~The dip potato wedges into flour mixture again, making sure all sides are coated.
~Place on cookie sheet and repeat until done.
~Allow potatoes to sit for 15 minutes.
~Heat oil into a large heavy bottom pot (make sure it's large so that the oil doesn't spill over).
~Preheat oil to 350 degrees.
~Carefully place potatoes in hot oil a few at at time (do not over crowd the pan).
~Cook for about 3-4 minutes and remove from heat and place on a cooling rack.
~Allow to cool for at least 20 minutes.
~Fry for the second time for about 4-6 minutes or until potatoes are crispy and done (do not over crowd the pan).
~Remove from heat and lightly salt and sprinkle some Parmesan cheese over them.
