Beer Batter Seasoned Fries, Potatoes & Vegetables image

Long half-inch wide peeled potatoes or thin slices of cauliflower, across the grain, dipped in batter and fried in oil or oven. I like to use vegetables that have minimum water content, less spatter and batter holds while frying.

Time 45m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 -8 russet potatoes, peeled, cut potato length 2 inch wide strips
1 whole cauliflower, broken into individual sections
1 cup flour or 1 cup rice flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons mccormick all seasoning
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup beer
1 quart oil
Pam cooking spray
lemon juice (optional)

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.
