How do I make potato wedges?

Question

I want to make them like the ones you get at KFC. I really hate fast food and I've tried to stop eating it, except for maybe In-n-Out, so I'd appreciate it if someone knows any recipes that produces a crisp, golden skin.

Garlic and Oregano Sweet Potato Wedges:

4 small sweet potatoes or yams (about 1 1/2 pounds), peeled and cut into wedges
5 sprigs fresh oregano

2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
1 garlic clove, peeled and minced
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Heat oven to 450 degrees. On a baking sheet, combine the sweet potatoes, oregano, salt, and half the oil. Toss well and roast for 40 minutes, or until tender and golden, flipping once halfway through. Remove from oven.

Meanwhile, in a skillet, lightly toast the pumpkin seeds over medium heat, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add the garlic, lemon juice, and the remaining oil and stir together. Add the sweet potato wedges and toss well.

Ok, here is a serious answer, and they will be good!!!!...just listen and trust me, I cook for a living, and have for years!!.......Bake a few potatoes, yes bake.... depends on how many you want to make....Lets just say you want some for you and your loved one ok?.......Bake two potatoes, let them cool....put them in the fridge overnite, trust me.....cut them in half, then cut them again, then cut them again...take Buttermilk, yes buttermilk, its the best!....take some flour, lets say 2 cups or so, add salt and pepper, about a tablespoon of each, dip the cold potatoes in the buttermilk, then the flour, put on a cookie sheet or plate, and let them sit for just a few minutes, or you can freeze them as is!!!... heat up your oil to frying temp., you'll be able to smell when the oil is ready, do not leave un attended!.... drop in and fry to a golden brown, instant potato wedges! If you cook them raw, the outside will be brown, but the potatoes will be raw inside!! You can add Cayenne pepper if you like them hotter, but don't add paprika, cause paprika burns, flour, salt and pepper is the basic and is good....sooo good!!!!

Put oil in a spray bottle and oil the skins when you bake your wedges. When they're done, load up the fillings, and bake a tidge longer. Yummy goings.
