French Fries

Method

French Fries

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into thick strips, about 1/4 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the beer until smooth.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Dip the potato strips into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully drop them into the hot oil in batches and fry until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Season the Fries

    While still hot, toss the fries in additional salt and your desired house seasoning.

Queso Blanco

  1. 6

    Melt the Cheese

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the white American cheese and milk. Stir continuously until the cheese is melted and smooth.

  2. 7

    Add Flavor

    Stir in the diced green chilies, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

  3. 8

    Serve

    If using, stir in the chopped cilantro and serve warm alongside the crispy fries.
