Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy KFC Potato Wedges
  1. Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut into thick wedges about 1 inch wide. Soak in cold water for 30 minutes to draw out excess starch.

  3. Dredge the soaked potato wedges in the flour mixture, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
  4. Heat vegetable oil to 325°F (163°C) and fry the wedges in batches for 5-6 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
  5. Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C) and fry wedges again for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Drain on fresh paper towels.
