Beer-Battered Curly Fries

1. 1

   Fill a heavy Dutch oven outfitted with a deep-fry thermometer halfway up with oil.

2. 2

   Heat the oil to 375 degrees F.

3. 3

   Whisk together the flour, chili powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt and beer in a large bowl, until a thin batter forms.

4. 4

   Cut the fries into a curly shape using a curly-fry cutter.

5. 5

   In batches, dredge the potatoes in the batter, and then fry them until crisp, 6 to 7 minutes; use tongs to separate the potatoes while they're in the oil, so they don't stick together.)

6. 6

   Drain the fries on a paper-towel-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with salt before serving.
