The history of potato wedges is intertwined with the invention of the pressure fryer in the mid-20th century, which allowed for the creation of the modern battered and deep-fried "jojo". Credited to a salesman named Nick Nicewonger around the late 1950s or early 1960s in the Pacific Northwest, this technique involved cutting potatoes into wedges, battering and seasoning them, and frying them in the same oil used for chicken to make a crispy, yet soft interior. The name "jojo" may have come from the first thing that popped into Nicewonger's head when asked, or a restaurant called JoJo's in Portland, Oregon. The "jojo" Origin: The invention is often attributed to Nick Nicewonger, a salesman for a pressure fryer company, in the late 1950s or early 1960s. The fryer: The pressure fryer allowed for the fast cooking of both chicken and potatoes, resulting in a crispy exterior and a moist interior. The name: The name "jojo" likely originated from Nicewonger's first response when asked for the name of the new product, or from a local restaurant named JoJo's in Portland, Oregon, that served them. Regional staple: Jojos became a popular staple in the Pacific Northwest and parts of the Midwest, often sold at grocery store delis, county fairs, and gas stations. Other names and variations Variations: Other names for potato wedges include "western fries," "potato logs," and in some areas, "JoJos". Global variations: Variations also exist globally, such as Kartoffelspalten ("potato clefts") in Germany and americké brambory ("American potatoes") in Czechia. Modern takes: Today, chefs are creating modernized versions of the jojo with unique seasonings and preparations, while many restaurants still serve traditional, battered versions
