Ingredients

1 large potatoes, Russet or 1 large yukon gold potato
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic powder
1 small egg
1/2 cup beer, of your choice
2 cups canola vegetables (for deep frying) or 2 cups olive oil (for deep frying)

Steps:

Scrub or peel potatoes. Slice crosswise to 1/8 inch thickness; about 12 to 14 slices. Slices should be the same thickness for deep frying.
Place sliced potatoes in a dish and cover with cold water while preparing the dredging flour and the batter.
In a mixing bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of flour, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and pepper; set aside to use for dredging.
In a separate mixing bowl, mix together 1/3 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and pepper and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder.
In a small mixing bowl, beat egg and add 1/2 cup of beer and whisk until blended.
Pour egg/beer mixture into the flour mixture and stir until well blended and the batter is smooth.
Meanwhile, in a medium size frying pan or saucepan, heat the oil to 350°F.
Drain the sliced potatoes and shake off any excess water.
Dredge the potato slices in the flour to coat all sides.
Now dip the slices in the batter and coat well on all sides.
Drop a few batter coated slices in the heated oil and deep fry for about 1 minute, then turn over and continue to fry for another 1 minute.
When done, remove to paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve with ketchup, yogurt or sour cream.

Categories Potato

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

4 large russet potatoes or 4 large yukon gold potatoes
1 large onion, sliced thin
4 tablespoons butter (or more if required)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1â2 teaspoon granulated garlic powder
1â4 teaspoon salt
1â4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

Peel and slice potatoes about 1/8 inch thick or thinner. Slice onion thinly. In a large frying pan on medium-high heat, melt butter, add olive oil. Add sliced potatoes and onions, cover and fry for 10 minutes. Using a spatula, turn the potatoes and onions over so they do not break apart. If potatoes appear too dry, add some additional butter. Sprinkle with granulated garlic powder, salt and pepper and continue to fry with cover removed for another 5 minutes or until potatoes begin to turn slightly brown; turning occasionally. Serve hot with your meal. Note: You may use 2 or 3 large garlic cloves (chopped small), instead of granulated garlic powder. Add to the potatoes after the first 10 minutes of cooking time.

Tips:

Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for frying, as they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
Soak the potatoes in water: This will help remove excess starch and prevent them from sticking together.
Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: This will help the potatoes get crispy and brown.
Don't overcrowd the skillet: Cook the potatoes in batches if necessary.
Cook the potatoes over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without burning.
Stir the potatoes frequently: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the skillet.
Add the onions: Once the potatoes are cooked through, add the onions and cook until they are softened.
Season the potatoes and onions: Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.
Serve immediately: Fried potatoes and onions are best served hot.

Uncle Bill's Fried Potatoes and Onions is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to please everyone.
