How to fry potatoes

Fried Red Potato Wedges are a staple in our house. They are just so simple to make and a yummy side, so you just can’t go wrong!

Anytime that I bust out the deep fryer I want to get as much bang out of my time as I can. Let’s get real if I’m going to fry something… I’m going to go all out.

I will make these Potato Wedges when I make southern fried chicken or battered fish. Alternatively, if you like more basic fries I have this homemade french fries recipe!

Why this recipe works:

  • With only 4 ingredients it is super simple to whip up.
  • The recipe is easily able to be doubled for serving more.
  • You can season these any way that you like!

There is something about red potatoes I just love. They are more creamy and their tender skin makes them so easy to work with!

Every time I cook with a potato with a tender skin I never peel them. Why should I? The skins are yummy and the less time I have to spend prepping the better!

How to make Potato Wedges Recipe:

  1. Wash potatoes thoroughly. Cut into wedges and soak in water until ready to use.
  2. Preheat deep fryer to 320°F.
  3. Drain potatoes and pat dry with a clean towel.
  4. Fry for 10 minutes at 320°F. Let drain on a wired rack over a sheet tray.
  5. Heat oil to 375°F. Fry again for 2-3 minutes until crispy.
  6. Season with kosher salt and season salt, enjoy!

Why do you double fry the wedges?

Just like regular fries, these wedges need to be cooked twice.

The first fry ensures that the potatoes are cooked through. The second fry crisps the outside, this makes a creamy interior with a crispy outside. Perfection and the best method on how to fry potatoes.

I don’t have a deep fryer, is there an alternate cooking method?

You don’t have to own a deep fryer to make this recipe, I just prefer to use one. You can also get a heavy bottom pan with tall sides and make them right on the stove top.

Make sure there is enough oil in the pan to totally cover the potatoes. I also recommend using a thermometer to control the temperature of the oil.

Which fryer do you recommend?

I use this one every week and I’m in love with it!

Homemade Potato Wedges are one of my favorite sides! They are super simple to whip up which my family loves and you can season them any way that you like.

We sometimes use different fry seasonings on this recipe but it is not necessary, it is just something that we like to do but also love it the way it is.

We love potatoes around this house and some of our favorite recipes include, Creamy Parmesan Red Potatoes ,Paprika Sour Cream Red Potato Salad,Garlic Herbed Skillet Potatoes and Slow Cooker Garlic Dill Mashed Potatoes.

Potatoes really do make one of the best side dishes ever and I mean, carbs, who doesn’t love them! I know I do and I don’t think that I would be willing to give them up either.

Tips and Tricks:

  • You can cut the wedges any size that you like, just make sure while cooking that they are fully cooked through.
  • Make sure you place in cold water before frying, this helps remove the starch from the potatoes.
  • You do not need a deep fryer to make these wedges, see my notes above.
  • If you don’t have peanut oil you can fry in regular vegetable or canola oil as well.

The best way on how to cook red potatoes is no longer a mystery!
