Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 60 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Cornstarch
- 5 grams Garlic powder
- 5 grams Paprika
- 10 grams Salt
- 5 grams Black pepper
- 240 ml Water
- 1000 ml Vegetable oil
- 15 grams Chopped parsley
Directions
Step 1
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water, and then pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Slice each potato in half lengthwise, then slice each half into 4 wedges.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add the water, whisking continuously until you have a smooth batter.
Step 3
Preheat the vegetable oil in a large, deep frying pan or heavy pot over medium-high heat to 180°C (350°F). Use a kitchen thermometer to check the temperature.
Step 4
Dip each potato wedge into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip back into the bowl.
Step 5
Carefully lower each coated wedge into the hot oil, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry the wedges for about 8-10 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Step 6
Use a slotted spoon to remove the wedges from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 7
Continue frying the remaining wedges, ensuring the oil temperature remains consistent for even cooking.
Step 8
Once all wedges are fried, place them in a serving dish, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve hot.
