How to Make Batter Dipped French Fries

  1. Peel and cut potatoes into your desired french fry shape (about 1/2 inch thick).
  2. Soak the potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
  3. Dry the potatoes thoroughly with paper towels.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, paprika, and baking powder.
  5. Gradually whisk in the beer, ensuring no lumps remain. The batter should be smooth and slightly thick.
  6. Heat vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Dip each potato fry into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated.
  8. Carefully place the battered fries into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  9. Fry the fries in batches for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  10. Remove the fries from the oil and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
  11. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
