Equipment
Deep Fryer
optional
Ingredients
2
pounds
red potatoes
medium to large
season salt to taste
kosher salt to taste
peanut oil for frying or your preferred frying oil
Instructions
Preheat the deep fryer or oil to 320°F.
Cut potatoes into wedges of uniform size, depending on the size of the potato, it will be 4 to 6 pieces. Place into cold water until ready to fry.
Drain potatoes and dry them thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel.
Fry for 10 minutes in batches. Drain on a wire rack over a sheet tray to let the excess oil drip off. And repeat with the remaining wedges.
Turn the fryer up to 375°F. Fry potatoes again for 2-3 minutes until crispy and golden brown. Drain on a wired rack in an even layer.
Generously season with season salt and kosher salt to taste immediately after removing potatoes from the oil. Toss to coat in the seasoning.

Notes
Nutrition calculated without oil.
You can cut the wedges any size that you like, make sure while cooking that they are fully cooked through.
Make sure you place them in cold water before frying, this helps remove the excess 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.
