Ingredients
  

  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • cup all-purpose flour
  • tbsp paprika
  • tbsp garlic powder
  • tbsp onion powder
  • tbsp salt
  • tbsp black pepper
  • cup milk
  • egg
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)

Equipment

  • Deep fryer or large heavy-bottom pot
  • Mixing bowls
  • Tongs or slotted spoon
  • Paper towels

Method
 

  1. Wash and scrub potatoes well, then cut into thick wedges.
  2. Soak wedges in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry.
  3. In a bowl, mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk milk and egg until smooth.
  5. Dip potato wedges into the milk mixture, then coat in the flour mixture. For extra crunch, repeat the process.
  6. Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) in a fryer or heavy pot. Fry wedges in small batches for 6–8 minutes, until golden brown.
  7. Drain on paper towels and season immediately. Serve hot.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, use the double-fry method: fry for 4 minutes, rest for 2 minutes, then fry again until golden.
  • Can be baked at 425°F (220°C) for 35–40 minutes for a lighter option.
  • Air fryer method: cook at 400°F for 15–18 minutes, shaking halfway.
