Ingredients

  • 1 extra large russet potato (or 2 medium)
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Lowry’s season salt
  • ¼ – ½ cup beer (or water)
  • Canola oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Slice the potato into wedges and place them into cold salted water for about 10 minutes.
  • While the potatoes soak, heat 1” deep oil in an electric skillet over medium-high heat to 375 degrees F.
  • While the oil is heating, sift the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and paprika into a medium bowl.
  • Gradually stir in only enough beer (or water) so that the mixture can be drizzled from a spoon.
  • Pat the wedges very dry with paper towel.
  • Coat the potatoes in the batter, and then carefully lower them into the oil one at a time. Do not drop in groups or they will stick together.
  • Fry for 10 minutes, flipping them over half way through.
  • Remove from the oil onto a paper towel lined plate. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper if desired.

Notes

  • Beer – any beer will work. You can also use club soda or water instead.
  • Potatoes – you can peel the potatoes or leave the skin on. Diced or sliced potatoes also work instead of wedges.
  • Cool leftovers completely then store in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days.
  • To reheat, place in a cold oven on a baking sheet. Then turn the oven heat on to 350. Once the oven comes up to temperature, turn it off and serve the potatoes.
