3 large russet potatoes, each cut into 8 to 10 wedges
2 tablespoons avocado oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 quart vegetable oil or other neutral oil
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a medium bowl, toss well to combine the potato wedges, avocado oil, and salt. Spread the wedges evenly on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until just tender all the way through but no color has really formed, 30 to 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil in a medium Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F. Working in batches, fry the baked potato wedges until golden brown and crispy on the outside, tender and fluffy on the inside, about 4 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with additional salt, if desired. Serve immediately while still hot.
