Beer battered fries

Peel and cut potatoes into fries. Rinse fries until water runs clear.


Combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt and pepper. Beat in eggs. Stir in beer one bottle at a time until batter reaches the consistency of pancake batter. (Drink any beer remaining in the bottles or open a third to enjoy while you cook)


Place a cooling rack on a baking sheet. Working in batches, add fries to beer batter and place on cooling rack, this will allow the excess batter to drain off. {I kept my fries in salt water until I was ready to use them} Heat the oil to 375 degrees, working in small batches to avoid clumping, drop fries into the oil and fry for about 3-5 minutes. Drain fries on paper towels, sprinkle with salt, and hold in oven at 200 degrees to keep warm.
