French Fries Board + Dip Ideas
Author: D. Durand Worthey
- 1 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black peppercorns
- 1 egg
- 1 cup beer + 2 tablespoons I prefer using a stout, a brown, or a doppelbock
- 4 1/2 cups vegetable oil or other high smoke point oil like canola avocado, corn, grapeseed or safflower
Cut potatoes in 1/4 inch thickness. Dip the potatoes into the batter and shake off excess batter, and fry in oil until golden brown. Sidebar: when frying potatoes in oil, the French fries will begin to rise to the surface when they're done.
Use a large slotted spoon to turn the French fries over to ensure that they are evenly brown. Remove and place onto a platter lined with a few paper towels to absorb excess oil. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Place an assortment of dips onto a platter and place the French fries onto the platter.
Serve.
