Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor, consider adding garlic powder or paprika to the dry mixture. For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of potatoes for this recipe?
Yes, you can use various types of potatoes such as Yukon Gold or sweet potatoes. Each will give a unique flavor and texture to the Jojo's. Just ensure they are cut into similar-sized wedges for even cooking.
What is the best oil for frying Jojo's?
A neutral oil with a high smoke point, like vegetable or canola oil, is ideal for frying Jojo's. These oils help achieve a crispy exterior without imparting strong flavors that could overpower the dish.
Can I bake the potato wedges instead of frying them?
Yes, baking is a healthier alternative! Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C), coat the potato wedges in the mixture, and spread them on a baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
