Who would have known that these are called jojos in the North? I always called them potato wedges.
Jo Jo potatoes is a traditional dish that's a staple in roadside eateries across the Pacific Northwest. Although there are many variatons, the dish is usually made with a combination of potatoes, breadcrumbs, salt, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, thyme, mustard, paprika, and oil.
The potatoes are cut into wedges, gently heated, drizzled with oil and stirred. The breadcrumbs are mixed with paprika, mustard, salt, garlic powder, cayenne, and thyme. The potatoes are dredged in the mixture and baked or pressure-fried until golden brown and crisp.
Jo Jo potatoes are served immediately, ideally with Ranch dressing on the side.
Why it works: The Double Fry for mashed potato like inside.
