Best Buttermilk Battered Potato Logs Recipes

HOMEMADE KFC POTATO WEDGES

Steps:

• Wash potatoes well, and cut into small wedges. The wedges should be no larger than 3/8 of an inch thick at the outside of the potato. Ideally, the potato wedges should be cut as uniformly as possible.
• Place the potato wedges in a large bowl and add enough water to cover the potatoes. Allow the potatoes to soak for at least 1 hour (best overnight).
• Combine milk and egg in a small bowl. Whisk together to mix the egg fully into the milk.
• In another bowl, combine flour, salt, garlic salt, onion powder, black pepper, and poultry seasoning.
• Heat oil to 350 degrees.
• Dredge the potatoes in the flour, then dip into the egg wash, and then back into the flour.
• Place the breaded potatoes on a wire rack on top of a baking sheet to allow them to dry. The coating will set up and stay on the potatoes better if allowed to set for 5 to 10 minutes before frying
• Fry potatoes in batches for 5 to 6 minutes, remove and place on a wire rack to drain.
• After the first cooking time, place each batch of potatoes back into the oil for another 3 to 4 minutes. This second cooking will result in potatoes with a very crisp outer coating. When removed for the second time drain on the wire rack, and then serve immediately.

BUTTERMILK BATTERED POTATO LOGS

Steps:

• Cut potatoes into logs, 3 or 4 per potato depending on size of potato. Salt and pepper potato, dredge in flour, dredge in buttermilk and dredge in flour again. Fry in oil on medium heat until potato is tender and crispy brown. Drain on paper towel, may need to sprinkle with more salt when done. The amount of buttermilk and flour you use depends on how many potatoes you use. I usually allow 2 potatoes per person.
