Chinese Buttered Potatoes (Buffet Style)
These Chinese buffet potatoes might be one of the best potato recipes you will ever try. They are crispy, buttery, and very flavorful. I air-fried mine and they ended up super crispy.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds frozen potato wedges (or French fries)
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon MSG (optional; if its in the big crystals, make sure to crush it into a powder)
Instructions
- Prepare the potato wedges according to the package instructions (you can bake, deep-fry, or air-fry). Deep-frying will give you the crispiest results. I decided to air-fry mine at 400°F for 20 minutes. Make sure to toss them a few times so that they cook evenly.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and cook until the butter is no longer foaming, about 3 minutes. Add the potato wedges and toss with the butter until evenly coated. Turn off the heat.
- Add the salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and MSG, and toss again. Enjoy!
