Ingredients:
- 3 pounds Russet potatoes
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning (optional)
- Oil for frying
Instructions:
- Wash potatoes well and cut into small wedges. The wedges should be no larger than 3/8 of an inch thick at the outside of the potato. Cut as uniformly as possible.
- Place the potato wedges in a large bowl and add enough water to cover the potatoes. Soak for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
- Combine milk and egg in a small bowl. Whisk together to mix the egg fully into the milk.
- In another bowl, combine flour, salt, garlic salt, onion powder, black pepper, and poultry seasoning.
- Heat oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Dredge the potatoes in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg wash, and then back into the flour mixture.
- Place the breaded potatoes on a wire rack on top of a baking sheet to allow them to dry. Let the coating set for 5 to 10 minutes before frying.
- Fry potatoes in batches for 5 to 6 minutes, then remove and place on a wire rack to drain.
- After the first cooking time, place each batch of potatoes back into the oil for another 3 to 4 minutes. This second cooking will result in a very crisp outer coating. Drain on the wire rack, then serve immediately.
Enjoy!
