You Can Skip The Ketchup

Trust me, serving ketchup or any other dipping sauce with these copycat KFC potato wedges is just about a waste of time. They’re delicious right off the plate, nothing added. They are by far my favorite potato side, and that’s saying a lot because up until now I dreamed about baked potatoes almost nightly. Well, they’ve been replaced with these wedges. Sorry, bakers. But these little bites are so packed with flavor that I just don’t need you any more.

I get out my big deep fryer when it’s time to fry a large batch of food. It comes to temperature quickly and it maintains that temperature perfectly. It has a built-in oil filter and storage unit so I can re-use the oil several times.

Don’t forget to also make my copycat KFC bean salad!

Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a small bowl or pie plate whisk together the milk and egg.
  • In another small bowl or pie plate, whisk together the flour, salt, garlic salt, onion powder, pepper and poultry seasoning, if using.
  • Cut the potatoes into wedges. You want the wedges to be thin and uniform. Try to cut them so they are 3/8" in thickness at the center.
  • Lay a wire rack on top of a large baking sheet.
  • Working in small batches, dip the potatoes first into the flour mixture, then into the milk mixture, and back into the flour again. Transfer to the wire rack.
  • After all of the potatoes have been dredged let them dry for at least 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil to 350 F.
  • Working in batches, fry the potatoes for 5-6 minutes. They will not be quite done or golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to drain.
  • Once all of the potatoes have been fried the first time, fry them again, but this time for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crunch delicious. Transfer to a rack to drain and cool slightly.
