2 Russet Potatoes
1/3 cup of flour (, use rice flour for Glutenfree )
1 tablespoon rice flour or fine cornmeal
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1 tsp of garlic powder
½ tsp of onion powder
½ tsp of black pepper
¼ tsp celery seed
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
¼ tsp baking powder
½ cup Non-Dairy Milk
2 tsp oil (Plus more for baking or pan frying )
2 tsp hot sauce

Steps:

  • Boil the russet potatoes: slice the russet potatoes into wedges and add to a large saucepan filled with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium high heat and cook for 2-4 minutes or until a fork just about starts to get easily into the potato slices, not overcooked. Immediately strain. Wash with some cold water, and set aside.
  • In a bowl, add all the dry ingredients, the flours, salt, spices and mix well. Add the potatoes to this bowl to coat in the flour mixture then remove the excess flour from the potatoes by tapping the potatoes and then place them on a plate.
  • Make the batter by adding the oil, hot sauce, and 1/4 cup of Non-Dairy milk to the remaining flour mix, mix in. then add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until the mixture is a smooth batter, you don't want the batter to be too thick but also not too thin so that it doesn't stick to the potatoes. You might or might not need more milk depending on how much flour stuck to the potatoes and was left
  • Take your flour coated potatoes and dip in the batter. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet or a greased baking dish if you're planning to bake them.

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 -5 medium russet potatoes, scrubbed well, but not peeled
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, melted
1/2 cup fine dry breadcrumb
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons flour
2 teaspoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon celery salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 dash cayenne

Steps:

  • First of all, preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
  • Then, toss all of the dry ingredients into a gallon-size Ziploc bag and shake to combine. The measurements there for the seasonings are guidelines--feel free to alter them as you wish, or measure them in your palm and skip the measuring spoons altogether. So long as you start with approximate amounts of the bread crumbs, flour, and Parmesan, you can't really go too far wrong.
  • Then, cut your potatoes into wedges--I generally get about 8 wedges from each potato, but the important thing is not the number, but that they're more or less evenly sized, so they all cook at the same rate.
  • Dunk your wedges in the melted butter, then shake them, a few at a time, in the Parmesan mixture, and arrange on a greased or parchment-lined cookie sheet. Stand them up with the skin side on the bottom if you can, but if they want to lay on their sides instead, that's fine--just flip them halfway through the cooking time.
  • If you have any leftover butter, drizzle it over top of the potatoes before you pop them into the preheated oven. Or don't, if all that butter scares you.
  • Bake for about 35 minutes or until they're tender and browned,.
