Ingredients
- 3-4 medium potatoes
- 2 medium carrots (optional)
- 200 ml vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon poultry spice mix
Instructions
- Wash and peel the potatoes and carrots.
- Cut the potatoes into wedges, first cut in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 3 - 4 wedges, depending on the size of the potato.Cut the carrots into quarters.
- In a bowl, mix together the spices, add a tablespoon of oil and toss in the potatoes and carrot wedges. Toss well, to coat the vegetables with spice mix.
- Heat up the oil in a deep frying pan, or a wok if you have on medium - high heat. When the oil is hot, carefully add the potato wedges. If possible one by one, so they don't stick to each other.
- Turn the heat down to medium or low - medium and fry the potato wedges, stirring occasionally until cooked through, about 15 minutes.
- Once the potato wedges are done, take them out of the frying pan and transfer them to a bowl lined with paper towel, to absorb excess oil. Do not switch off the stove.
- If you have carrots as well, add the carrots to the same frying pan, with the same hot oil and fry for a couple of minutes, until they get a nice golden coating. It will only take 2 - 3 minutes.
- Transfer to the same bowl as potatoes.
- Enjoy!
