- 5 russet potatoes
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 cups water
- 3 tbsp onion powder
- 3 tbsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp chicken bouillon powder
- 1 tbsp cayenne pepper (more if you want more spice)
- vegetable oil (any neutral oil to fry)
- 1 tsp salt
Chop your russet potatoes into wedge shapes, ensuring they’re evenly sized for consistent cooking.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the potato wedges for 7–8 minutes until slightly tender.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cayenne pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, chicken bouillon powder, and salt. Gradually add water, stirring until a smooth batter forms. The consistency should be thick enough to coat the potatoes evenly.
Once the potatoes are dry, toss them into the batter, making sure each wedge is coated well.
Heat your oil to 350°F in a deep fryer or large pot.
Carefully place a few potato wedges into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot.
Fry for 6–8 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the wedges from the oil and place them on a wire rack to drain any excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, or enjoy them on their own for a perfectly crispy snack!
