Chase and I came across this recipe a couple of weeks ago, and that's when the light bulb turned on. We loved the idea, but we also love making things our own way (spice experimenting!) Here, with our modifications, is the recipe for Battered French Fries.
Happy cooking!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Battered French Fries
2 medium potatoes
1-2 cups vegetable oil (depending on your skillet's depth)
1 cup flour
1 tsp McCormick's Salt-Free All Purpose Potato Seasoning
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
⅛ tsp garlic powder
approx. 1 cup water
Directions
1. Wash potatoes, then slice into medium-thick wedges (think Red Robin fries).
2. Heat oil in skillet to medium-high.
3. While the oil is heating, combine dry ingredients in a bowl. Gradually add water and stir until the batter is about the consistency of ranch dressing.
4. Place a handful of the sliced potatoes into the batter and toss to coat.
5. Using tongs, carefully lift the slices one at a time out of the batter and drop them into the oil. If the oil is hot enough, it will give a satisfying sizzle. Continue adding slices until the skillet is full but not overcrowded. It is important to add the slices one at a time so they don't fry together into one giant french fry.
6. When the fries are golden brown, use the tongs to remove them from the skillet. Place them on a paper towel to collect excess oil, and sprinkle with an extra pinch of salt.
7. Repeat until all potato slices have been fried. You may have to add extra oil to the skillet during this process.
8. Serve and enjoy.
