Frequently Asked Questions About Fried Jojo Potatoes
What are fried jojo potatoes?
Fried jojo potatoes are thick potato wedges coated with seasoned breading and deep-fried. Their crisp, flavorful outside and soft centre set them apart from thinner fries.
Why are fried jojo potatoes called jojo potatoes?
The exact origin of the name “jojo” is unclear, but it is commonly used for seasoned, breaded potato wedges, especially in parts of the United States. The name refers to this style of wedge, not a separate variety of potato.
How do fried jojo potatoes differ from potato wedges?
Fried jojo potatoes are typically breaded or battered before frying, while potato wedges may be cooked without a coating and often baked or roasted. That seasoned outer layer is the main difference in texture and preparation.
How do you make fried jojo potatoes from scratch?
Cut potatoes into thick wedges, coat them in seasoned flour or breading, then fry until golden and cooked through. Keep the pieces similar in size so they cook evenly, and avoid crowding the pan.
What gives fried jojo potatoes their crunchy coating?
A dry, even layer of seasoned breading and properly heated frying oil give fried jojo potatoes their crunch. Pat the wedges dry before coating, and fry in small batches so the oil temperature does not drop sharply.
Can you cook fried jojo potatoes in an air fryer?
Yes, you can cook fried jojo potatoes in an air fryer. Arrange them in a single layer with space between the wedges, and turn or shake them during cooking so the coating browns evenly.
Can fried jojo potatoes be baked instead of deep-fried?
Yes, fried jojo potatoes can be baked, although the coating may be less crisp than when they are deep-fried. Spread the coated wedges in one layer on a lightly oiled tray and turn them once as they cook.
What seasoning is used on fried jojo potatoes?
Fried jojo potatoes are commonly seasoned with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Recipes vary, and cayenne or chilli powder can add heat without changing the basic preparation.
What dips go best with fried jojo potatoes?
Ketchup, ranch dressing, and garlic aioli are popular dips for fried jojo potatoes. A tangy dip balances the rich, crunchy coating; serve it on the side to keep the wedges crisp.
How do you reheat leftover fried jojo potatoes without making them soggy?
Reheat leftover fried jojo potatoes in an oven, toaster oven, or air fryer to bring back some crispness. Refrigerate leftovers in a covered container and use them within a few days; a microwave tends to soften the coating.

What is Fried Jojo Potatoes?
Fried Jojo Potatoes are thick potato wedges, often left with their skins on, seasoned, coated and deep-fried. “Jojo” is a name used especially in the United States for this hearty, coated wedge style, often found at diners and deli counters; similar versions are easy to make at home.
They have a crisp outside and a soft, fluffy centre, and are commonly served alongside burgers, fried chicken or other casual meals, with ketchup or a creamy dip.
