Ice Water Potatoes Recipes

CRISPY BAKED POTATO WEDGES RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450˚F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Cut potatoes into wedges by cutting lengthwise in half then slice each half into 4-5 wedges, (1/2"- thick). Place potatoes in a bowl of cold water with about 2 cups of ice cubes. Let them stand for 30 min then drain well and thoroughly pat dry with a tea towel or paper towels and place in a large dry mixing bowl.
• Season potatoes with salt, paprika, pepper, and garlic powder and toss to combine. Drizzle potatoes with 1/4 cup of olive oil and toss to coat potatoes in oil.
• Immediately place potatoes on the lined sheet in a single layer, cut-side-down, and bake at 450˚F for 20 min then flip the potatoes and bake another 12-15 minutes or until potatoes are crisp on the outside and tender inside.
• If using the topping, transfer the hot potato wedges to a mixing bowl, sprinkle with parmesan and parsley, and toss to combine. Serve right away with your favorite dipping sauce.

CRISPY FRIED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel and slice (or cube) potatoes.
• Let soak for 5-10 minutes in ice water in a large mixing bowl. You may skip this step if you like.
• Drain well and pat dry - make sure they are VERY dry!
• Heat 1/4 cup peanut oil in a large skillet on medium high heat until it's shimmering and almost smoking.
• Add potatoes and let fry for about 2 minutes or until they start to get golden on the bottom.
• Cover the pan and reduce heat to medium. Allow to steam for about 2 to 3 minutes.
• Remove cover and turn the heat back up to medium high. Flip the potatoes. Fry for a minute or two, or until the bottom layer begins to get golden.
• Dump the pan of potatoes into a colander over the sink to remove excess oil and moisture. Blot with a paper towel and return them to the pan on medium heat.
• Add the onion and peppers plus any seasonings you'd like on your potatoes.
• Saute, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and done. Do not cover at this stage of frying because they will get soggy!
• Add the butter at the very end of cooking.
• Taste for seasoning and serve hot with plenty of cracked pepper.
