Recreate the KFC potato wedges at home.

Provided by Stephanie Manley

Categories     Side Dish

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pounds Russet potatoes
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cup milk
1 egg
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning (optional)
oil for frying

Steps:

  • Wash potatoes well, and cut into small wedges. The wedges should be no larger than 3/8 of an inch thick at the outside of the potato. Ideally, the potato wedges should be cut as uniformly as possible.
  • Place the potato wedges in a large bowl and add enough water to cover the potatoes. Allow the potatoes to soak for at least 1 hour (best overnight).
  • Combine milk and egg in a small bowl. Whisk together to mix the egg fully into the milk.
  • In another bowl, combine flour, salt, garlic salt, onion powder, black pepper, and poultry seasoning.
  • Heat oil to 350 degrees.
  • Dredge the potatoes in the flour, then dip into the egg wash, and then back into the flour.
  • Place the breaded potatoes on a wire rack on top of a baking sheet to allow them to dry. The coating will set up and stay on the potatoes better if allowed to set for 5 to 10 minutes before frying
  • Fry potatoes in batches for 5 to 6 minutes, remove and place on a wire rack to drain.
  • After the first cooking time, place each batch of potatoes back into the oil for another 3 to 4 minutes. This second cooking will result in potatoes with a very crisp outer coating. When removed for the second time drain on the wire rack, and then serve immediately.

Time 4h20m

Yield 1 potato per serving, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 -6 small unpeeled white potatoes or 4 -6 small russet potatoes
4 cups cold water

pure vegetable shortening or vegetable oil

KFC POTATO WEDGES (COPYCAT)



Kfc Potato Wedges (Copycat) image

I copied this recipe from another website. I finally tried this recipe. I left the skin on (used Russet potatoes). It had a wonderful thin, crispy coating. The taste was ok but a little bland...maybe because I omitted the msg. I'll try again later with more spices or an msg substitute if one is available.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 small potatoes
2 tablespoons msg
2 tablespoons onion powder
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 tablespoons oregano flakes
8 chicken bouillon cubes, crushed
4 large eggs
8 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • Combine all dry ingredients in mixing bowl.
  • Mix well in separate bowl mix milk and egg. Heat oil to 400 degrees.
  • Dip potato wedges in milk/egg mixture and coat well.
  • Place potato wedges in dry ingredient mix and coat well.
  • Fry until golden brown.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for potato wedges because they have a high starch content, which makes them fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside.
  • Cut the potatoes into even wedges: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking: This will help remove excess starch and make them crispier.
  • Season the potato wedges generously with salt, pepper, and other spices: This will help them develop flavor.
  • Bake the potato wedges at a high temperature: This will help them get crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
  • Serve the potato wedges immediately with your favorite dipping sauce: They are best enjoyed hot and fresh.
