👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prep Your Oven & Potatoes
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Slice the potatoes into wedges or thick slices—your choice!
2. Mix the Breading
In a shallow bowl, combine:
-
Chicken breading mix
-
Paprika
-
Rock salt
Set aside.
3. Make the Yogurt Marinade
In a separate bowl, whisk together:
-
Yogurt
-
Water
until smooth and slightly thin.
4. Coat the Potatoes
-
Dip each potato wedge into the yogurt mixture, ensuring it’s well coated.
-
Then, dredge it in the seasoned breading, pressing gently so the coating sticks.
-
Repeat with all wedges.
5. Pan-Fry for Crispiness
-
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
-
Once hot, fry the potato wedges in batches, 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
-
Transfer fried wedges to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
6. Finish in the Oven
-
Place the fried wedges on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
-
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until fully cooked through and extra crispy.
7. Serve & Enjoy
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce—like ranch, garlic aioli, or spicy ketchup.
