Spicy Potato Wedges

Ingredients

• 4 russet potatoes (medium; washed and cut into thick wedges)
• 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• salt (to taste; used for boiling water and batter)
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp red chili flakes
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• oil (for frying)
• 0.333 cup water (used as directed for boiling and to make the batter; the source does not specify how the water is divided)

Steps

1. 1

   Wash the potatoes and cut them into thick wedges.

2. 2

   Add the water and salt to a pan. Bring the water to a boil, add the potato wedges, and boil for 10 minutes.

3. 3

   Drain the potatoes once they are about one-third cooked. Pat them dry and set them aside.

4. 4

   In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and red chili flakes.

5. 5

   Add water and mix to make a thick paste. The batter should not be runny; it needs to cling to the potatoes.

6. 6

   Add the partially cooked potato wedges to the batter and mix well until they are coated.

7. 7

   Heat oil for frying.

8. 8

   Fry the battered potato wedges for 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown.

9. 9

   Serve the spicy potato wedges with garlic mayonnaise sauce.

Notes

The source lists 1/3 cup water but does not specify how much is used for boiling versus mixing the batter. It also does not specify the frying oil quantity, oil temperature, or a garlic mayonnaise recipe.
