BEER-BATTERED POTATO WEDGES
Ingredients
* Oil for deep-fat frying
* 4 Medium baking potatoes
* 1 Egg
* 1 cup All-purpose flour
* 1 tbsp. Seasoned salt
* ½ tsp. Pepper
* 1 tbsp. Canola oil
* ¼ cup Milk
* ½ cup Beer (non-alcoholic beer works fine too)
* Sour cream (optional)
Cooking Directions
1. Scrub and pierce potatoes. Microwave for 5-to-6 minutes uncovered on high power. Turn once and microwave for 5-to-6 more minutes, or until tender.
2. In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg, flour, salt, pepper, Canola oil and milk until mixture is smooth. Stir in beer. Set aside.
3. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut each into 12 wedges.
4. In deep-fat fryer (or electric skillet), heat oil to 375 degrees. Dip potato wedges into batter and fry in batches for 3-to-4 minutes, or until golden brown, turning occasionally.
5. Drain on paper towels. Serve with (optional) sour cream. This recipe yields 48 wedges.
