🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 large Eggs
• 3 tablespoons Milk
• 3 cups Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into thick, long wedges, approximately 3–4 inches in length.

2. Place the potato wedges in a pot of salted water, bring to a boil, and cook for 6–7 minutes until just tender but not falling apart. Drain and allow the potatoes to cool slightly.

3. While the potatoes cool, prepare three bowls for dredging: In the first bowl, mix flour, garlic powder, paprika, 1 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper. In the second bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together. In the third bowl, spread the breadcrumbs evenly.

4. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or large, deep skillet over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).

5. Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, coat each wedge in the seasoned flour, then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally roll it in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres.

6. Carefully place the breaded potato logs into the hot oil in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 4–5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping occasionally for even cooking.

7. Remove the fried potato logs using a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle with the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of salt while still hot.

8. Repeat with the rest of the potato wedges until all are cooked.

9. Serve warm, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and pair with your favorite dipping sauces such as ketchup, ranch, or sour cream.
