Ingredients
- 3 pounds Russet potatoes
- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon ground black pepper

Instructions
- Wash potatoes thoroughly and cut them into uniform wedges, no thicker than 3/8 inch.
- Soak the potato wedges in water for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.
- In a small bowl, whisk together milk and egg until fully combined.
- In another bowl, mix flour, salt, garlic salt, onion powder, black pepper, and poultry seasoning.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Dredge each potato wedge in the flour mixture, dip into the egg wash, and then coat again with flour.
- Place coated wedges on a wire rack and let them rest for 5-10 minutes to set the coating.
- Fry in batches for 5-6 minutes, then remove and drain on a wire rack.
- Return the wedges to the oil for an additional 3-4 minutes for extra crispiness.
- Drain on a wire rack and serve immediately.
Notes
- Soaking the potatoes removes excess starch, helping them crisp up better.
- Double frying ensures a crunchy, golden exterior while keeping the inside fluffy.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce for an even tastier experience!
