Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 cups Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut each potato lengthwise into wedges, about 6-8 per potato, creating long, thick log shapes.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potato wedges and cook for 5-7 minutes, until slightly tender but not fully cooked. Drain and allow them to cool.
In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In a second shallow bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the milk.
In a third shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Dredge each potato log first in the flour mixture, then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure an even coating at every step.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large, heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place the coated potato logs into the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the potato logs with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the potato logs hot with your favorite dipping sauces such as ketchup, ranch, or spicy aioli.
