Tips & Tricks

  1. Ensure the potatoes are not overcooked during boiling; they should be firm enough to hold their shape.

  2. For extra crispiness, fry the wedges in batches and avoid overcrowding the pan.

  3. You can adjust the spice levels by increasing or decreasing the chilli powder as per your preference.

  4. Serve the wedges immediately after frying to enjoy their crisp texture.

FAQS

  1. Can I bake the potato wedges instead of frying?

    Yes, you can bake the wedges at 400°F (200°C) for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crispy and golden.

  2. What type of potatoes work best for this recipe?

    Starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold work best as they yield a crispy exterior and soft interior.

  3. Can I make the batter in advance?

    It is best to prepare the batter fresh to ensure the coating sticks well to the potatoes.

  4. How can I make this recipe gluten-free?

    You can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend to make the recipe gluten-free.

  5. What dips pair well with potato wedges?

    Mayo dips, ketchup, sour cream, or even garlic aioli pair wonderfully with potato wedges.
