Delicious homemade potato wedges that replicate the iconic KFC taste, featuring a crispy exterior and fluffy interior.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup milk (237 ml)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup flour (120 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons seasoned salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 5 large russet potatoes
  • Shortening for frying (or canola oil)

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the milk and egg in a large bowl until fully combined.
  2. Mix together the flour, seasoned salt, ground black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder in a separate bowl.
  3. Clean the russet potatoes and slice them into wedges about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
  4. Soak the potato wedges in the milk mixture for a few minutes.
  5. Heat 3 inches of shortening (or canola oil) to 375°F (190°C) in a heavy-bottomed pot.
  6. Remove a handful of potato wedges from the milk mixture and toss them in the flour mixture.
  7. Carefully place the coated potato wedges into the hot oil, frying them in small batches for about 3-4 minutes.
  8. Once all the wedges have been fried once, return them to the hot oil for a second fry for an additional 4-6 minutes.

Notes

For extra crispiness, consider double frying the wedges. Customize seasoning to your liking.
