Chicken Fried Potato Wedges

March 6, 2015 by mandyrecipebox

These Chicken Fried Potato Wedges are just like the delicious kind you can buy at a deli or gas station. You won’t be able to get enough of these!

Amy from My Name is Snickerdoodle here! I’ll be the first to admit that some of my top comfort foods are potatoes and anything fried.  The healthiest?  Absolutely not but, every now and then it is okay to indulge!

Growing up we traveled from Wyoming to Utah pretty frequently to spend time with family that lived there.  I remember stopping at a certain truck stop ever trip to fill up with gas (or most likely a bathroom break!).  They had a little deli inside where they served sandwiches and hot foods like hot dogs, chicken strips and these Chicken Fried Potato Wedges.  My mom and I would always share an order which was served with mysterious pink sauce.

 It wasn’t until recently that I remembered those potato wedges and it brought back a flood of childhood memories!  I knew I had to try to recreate them some how and I did!

I changed up the pink sauce to make it HOT pink sauce and my husband loved it!  You can use leftover baked potatoes or cook more just for this recipe.  They are so sinfully GOOD!

    My parents used to get fried chicken and “jo-jos” at a local deli once a month. These look just like the jo-jos and I have been wanting them since I was a child! I can’t wait to try this!

      I don’t think I’ve ever heard of jo-jos, but that’s a super fun name! I hope you enjoy them!

    I’ll admit it….I’ve had these at gas stations….BUT I’m sure yours are 100% better! Plus you get that great, spicy sauce!

    Kristen, I too had “jo-jo’s” when I was growing up and loved them. I’m hoping these turn out to be the same recipe.

      The name comes from Fried Chicken as in the coating that’s on them. Like Chicken Fried Steak…no chicken but it has the coating of fried chicken.

    I just want to thank you for this recipe, can you believe hardly anywhere near us has these addictive potatoes?! I just finished making these, and they came out amazing! I also roughly chopped an onion and made onion petals… So good! Thanks again for this recipe!
