Method
Preparation of Fries
- 1
Cut the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin fries, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
- 2
Soak the Fries
Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch.
- 3
Dry the Fries
After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess water.
Preparation of Beer Batter
- 4
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.
- 5
Add Beer
Slowly pour the beer into the dry ingredients while whisking to prevent lumps. Continue whisking until the batter is smooth and slightly thick.
Frying
- 6
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
- 7
Coat the Fries
Once the oil is hot, take a handful of the dried fries and dip them into the beer batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
- 8
Fry the Fries
Carefully place the battered fries into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes.
- 9
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Immediately sprinkle with salt.
