1 cup flour
2 tablespoons seasoned salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Set up two large bowls and in the first one whisk the milk and egg together.

Scrub clean the potatoes and slice into ¼ inch to ½ inch thick wedges.

Once cut let the potatoes sit in the milk mixture.

In a large heavy bottomed pot, heat 3 inches of shortening in to 375 degrees.

Take a handful of the potatoes out of the milk mixture with a slotted skimmer or tongs.

Toss in the flour mixture.

Fry in the hot oil for 3-4 minutes.

Once all the batches are done with the first round of frying, fry them a second time for 4-6 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
