Notes
- Keep the frying oil at 375°F to avoid burning the potato wedges.
- Shake off excess flour from potatoes before frying to prevent bitter, burnt spots.
- Fry the potatoes immediately after coating to prevent browning and uneven appearance.
- Soaking cut potatoes in ice water before frying can enhance crispiness.
