Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon celery salt
  • 4 potatoes unpeeled but scrubbed
  • 1 egg beaten
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Ranch dressing or sour cream for serving

Equipment

  • Large pot or deep fryer
  • Slotted spoon
  • Mixing bowl
  • Paper towels

Method
 

  1. Begin by scrubbing the potatoes thoroughly. Make sure to leave the skins on for added texture and flavor. Cut them into wedges or cubes, depending on your preference.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, pepper, garlic salt, and celery salt. In another bowl, beat the egg until well mixed.
  3. Dip each potato piece into the beaten egg, allowing the excess to drip off. Then, roll them in the seasoned flour mixture until evenly coated.
  4. In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. You’ll know it’s ready when a small piece of potato sizzles when added to the oil.
  5. Carefully add the coated potatoes to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry them until they are golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried potatoes from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with ranch dressing, sour cream, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Store uncooked coated potatoes in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before frying.
  • For crispier leftovers, reheat in the oven instead of the microwave.
  • Experiment with spices like paprika for added flavor!
