How to Make Beer Battered Chips

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel and cut 2 lbs russet potatoes into 1/2-inch thick wedges.
  3. In a large bowl, toss potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Arrange potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
  5. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender but not browned.
  6. Remove potatoes from oven and let cool completely.
  7. While potatoes cool, prepare the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup beer (any kind will work!), 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Do not overmix.
  8. In a separate shallow dish, place 1/2 cup all-purpose flour.
  9. Once potatoes are cool, toss them in the 1/2 cup flour to coat lightly.
  10. Dip each potato wedge into the beer batter, ensuring it's fully coated.
  11. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (approximately 350°F/175°C).
  12. Fry the potato wedges in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan, until golden brown and crispy (about 3-4 minutes per batch).
  13. Remove from skillet and place on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
  14. Season immediately with salt and your favorite spices (paprika, garlic powder, etc.).
  15. Serve hot and enjoy!
