Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 large Egg
- 6 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions
Scrub and wash the potatoes thoroughly, leaving the skins on for texture.
Cut each potato into wedges by first slicing in half lengthwise, then into quarters, and finally eighths for large wedges.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create the seasoned coating.
In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg to create the wet batter.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 375°F (190°C). Make sure the oil has enough depth to submerge the wedges fully.
Dip each potato wedge into the wet batter, shaking off excess liquid.
Dredge the battered wedges in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Set the coated wedges aside on a wire rack for a few minutes to allow the coating to adhere better.
Carefully lower a few wedges at a time into the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding the pot. Fry for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon or tongs to transfer the cooked wedges to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Repeat the process with the remaining wedges.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces.
