Step 4
and carefully add the prepared potato wedges to the boiling water.
Step 5
Cover the pot and cook on high heat for 7 minutes. It’s important not to overcook them to the point where they become too mushy.
Step 6
Drain the boiled potatoes using a colander.
Step 7
Pat the surface of the potatoes dry with paper towels. Excess moisture can cause splattering and prevent them from getting crispy.
Step 8
In a deep pan, add enough grapeseed oil to generously coat the bottom and heat over medium heat.
Step 9
Once the oil is adequately hot, add the potatoes and fry until golden brown and crispy on the outside. Turning them occasionally ensures even browning.
Step 10
Transfer the fried potato wedges to a wire rack or a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil for a moment.
Step 11
While they are still hot! Sprinkle with salt immediately for perfect seasoning. Your delicious potato wedges are now complete.
Step 12
While delicious on their own, for an extra flavor boost, consider sprinkling with finely chopped scallions, cheese powder, or kimchi seasoning according to your preference. This adds a unique dimension to the taste.

These are not only great as a nutritious snack for kids but also serve as an excellent accompaniment to a cold beer for adults!
