Ingredients
- 3 Russet Potatoes large
- 1 1/2 Tbsp White Vinegar
- 1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil
- 1 1/2 Cups Buttermilk
- 3/4 Cup Flour
- 1/2 Cup Cornstarch
- 1 Tsp Baking Powder
- 2 Tsp Garlic Powder
- 2 Tsp Paprika
- 1/2 Tsp Cayenne Pepper
- Pepper
- Salt
Instructions
- Wash & cut potatoes in half the long way. Then cut into wedges about 1/2 inch thick.
- Add potatoes to pan with vinegar and water. Bring up to a boil and cook until just tender. Check with a fork (about 10 min).
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- While potatoes are cooking mix seasonings, flour, cornstarch & baking powder into a medium bowl.
- Strain cooked potatoes & put back in pan or a large bowl. Add buttermilk and gently toss to soak for 5 min.
- Add vegetable oil to a rimmed baking pan and put in oven to get hot.
- Drain potatoes & then dredge them in powder mixture to coat evenly.
- Put the potatoes in a fine strainer to shake off the extra powder. You don't want any areas to be too thickly clumped on or you may have some powdery bites.
- Place potatoes on baking pan. The hot oil will help them get a fried texture.
- Bake for 10 minutes then flip and bake until crust is golden brown (about 10-15 more minutes).
- Remove from oven & salt potatoes. Optionally you can add other spices like rosemary & oregano. Or try seasoned salt for extra flavor.
