Fried Potato Wedges

Fried Potato Wedges

Be the first to review!
Just potatoes, salt, parsley and oil are all you need for these wonderfully crunchy, and surprisingly cheap, potato wedges. Giving the wedges a bath in water first gets rid of a lot of the starch they have, and frying them not once but twice is the trick to getting them beautifully golden on the outside, yet lovely and soft inside. They're a breeze to get on the table for a quick snack, as something to munch on at a party, or a comforting addition to a meal with your preferred sauce for dipping.
