Beer Battered Fries Recipes

BEER-BATTERED CURLY FRIES

Steps:

• Fill a heavy Dutch oven outfitted with a deep-fry thermometer halfway up with oil. Heat the oil to 375 degrees F.
• Whisk together the flour, chili powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt and beer in a large bowl, until a thin batter forms.
• Cut the fries into a curly shape using a curly-fry cutter.
• In batches, dredge the potatoes in the batter, and then fry them until crisp, 6 to 7 minutes; use tongs to separate the potatoes while they're in the oil, so they don't stick together.) Drain the fries on a paper-towel-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with salt before serving.

BEER BATTER SEASONED FRIES, POTATOES & VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Wrap towels around the cut potatoes, pat dry. Cut thin slices of each floret, across the grain.
• In large mixing bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and all seasoning. Blend well.
• In medium mixing bowl, whisk eggs until frothy, then add beer and mix.
• Add liquid to dry mixture and beat until blended. Batter must not be runny. If it is too thick add a tbsp of beer at a time until it is batter that will hold to the vegetables.
• Note: The size of the eggs determine the amount of additional beer needed.
• Heat oil to 375°F Dip 6 to 8 potatoes slices into batter at a time, the same with the cauliflower slices.
• Fry until golden brown.
• Place each batch in a large warmed plate with cover.
• Do not use an ale or strong flavored beer.
• This batter can be used with sliced yams, long 2 inch strips and fish if desired.
• Some like to squirt lemon juice on the slices, then dip in sauce of their choice or eat with just the lemon juice and seasoned batter.

BEER BATTERED ONION RINGS

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl combine flour, egg, parsley, garlic powder, oregano, salt and pepper. Gradually add beer, stirring, until a thick batter forms. Add more or less beer depending on the desired consistency of the batter.
• In a heavy frying pan heat oil (adjust amount, depending on the size of your pan, so that you have a couple of inches of oil) over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, dip onions in batter and fry, turning once to brown evenly on both sides. Drain on paper towels.
