I don't fry very often but these potato wedges are totally worth it for me. I love the crispy coating and flavor of the seasoning mixture. Yum!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

These crispy potato wedges are a super easy side dish. They're coated in seasoned flour that adds wonderful flavor. Once fried, the coating crisps up and the inside becomes soft and fluffy. Serve alongside burgers, baked chicken, steak, etc. They could even be an appetizer.
