Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Potatoes
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into wedges.
- Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil and parboil the wedges for 5-7 minutes. This step ensures they cook evenly and become extra crispy when fried.
- Drain the potatoes, pat them dry with a paper towel, and let them sit for 10 minutes to cool.
Step 2: Make the Batter
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- ½ cup water (add more as needed to achieve a thick but smooth consistency)
- Season the batter with:
- Chicken bouillon, black pepper, parsley, paprika, chili powder, onion powder, and garlic powder.
- If you love a little heat, add 1 tbsp of sriracha sauce—it takes the wedges to another level!
Step 3: Fry to Perfection
- Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Dip each potato wedge into the seasoned batter, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Fry in batches for 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Drain on a wire rack or paper towels.
Step 4: Make the Buttery Buffalo Ranch Dip
- In a small bowl, mix together:
- ½ tsp ranch seasoning
- 2 tbsp mayo
- ½ tbsp sour cream
- 3 tsp Kinder’s Buttery Buffalo Sauce
- Whisk until smooth and garnish with parsley and red pepper flakes.
Pro Tips for the Best Potato Wedges
? Double Fry for Extra Crispiness: After frying, let the wedges rest for a minute, then fry them again for 2-3 minutes for that extra crunch.
? Adjust the Spice: If you prefer a milder flavor, skip the sriracha or use half the amount of chili powder. Want it spicier? Add a dash of cayenne pepper!
? Perfect Pairing: Serve these with grilled chicken, burgers, or enjoy them as a snack with your favorite dipping sauces.
