Potato Wedges - Fried

This is a recipe I came up with some years ago and we try to have this with a meal about once every 2 weeks.

4 potatoes
1 inch of cooking oil in a skillet
1-1/2 cup plain four
1/2 tsp chili powder (optional if preferred spicy)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

Clean and place the potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Don't peel the potatoes. Boil for about 20 to 25 minutes and remove from heat. After they cool a bit slice the potatoes into wedges. Leave the skin on. I try to get about 6 wedges from a medium potato. you may get more or less depending on the potato size. Heat the cooking oil to 375 degrees.

Using paper towels dry the potatoes. In a mixing bag place the flour, salt and pepper. If you want to add any chives or any other spices, now is the time. Place the potatoes in the bag and shake to cover and immediately place the potatoes in the hot oil. DO NOT PRE-FLOUR THE POTATOES. You want them to go from shaking to straight to the pot. Cook until golden brown.

Serves 4.
