Directions
- 1
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.
- 2
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).
- 3
Combine milk and egg in a small bowl. Whisk together to mix the egg fully into the milk.
- 4
In another bowl, combine flour, salt, garlic salt, onion powder, black pepper, and poultry seasoning.
- 5
Heat oil to 350 degrees.
- 6
Dredge the potatoes in the flour, then dip into the egg wash, and then back into the flour.
- 7
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
- 8
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.

Tips for Perfect Potato Wedges:
- Uniform Cuts: Try to cut your russet potatoes into wedges of similar size to ensure even cooking.
- Don't Overcrowd: Fry in batches to maintain oil temperature and achieve maximum crispiness. Overcrowding leads to soggy wedges.
- Season to Taste: Feel free to adjust the seasoning blend to your preference. A pinch of paprika or cayenne pepper can add a subtle warmth.
