Ingredients

  • 4 russet potatoes
  • 4-5 cups of water
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic
  • Oil for frying vegetable

Crispy Batter

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic fresh or powder
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions

  • Divide the potatoes into wedges and place in a pot over medium heat. Add 4-5 cups of water, salt and garlic.
  • Stir and allow to come to a boil. Once boiling, allow to cook for 4-5 minutes.
  • Drain, and transfer the wedges to an ice bath to completely cool.
  • Once cool pat dry and set aside. This step is very important and will help make the wedges super crispy.

Crispy Batter

  • Place all ingredients listed under “Crispy Batter” into a bowl and mix until a thin batter forms.

Assemble

  • Heat oil to 350F.
  • Working in batches, dip the cooled and dry wedges into the crispy batter.
  • Transfer directly to the oil and fry until golden brown about 3-4 minutes.
  • Since the wedges are about 80% cooked, it doesn’t take long to cook.
  • As soon as they come out the oil, hit with a pinch of salt.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
  • Enjoy!
