Now that most the grills in America are covered in the unsavory film of winter, I’ve switched to the oven method. The salt water soak is still the way to go when you want that creamy/crispy combo, and letting the baking sheet heat up in the oven will give you more of that golden brown outside that you’d get from that scary vat of hot oil.

Directions

In a large bowl add the beer and 1 tbs kosher salt. Add the potatoes to the beer, add just enough water that the potatoes are fully submerged, about 1 to 2 cups.

Move the oven rack to the top 1/3 of the oven, place a rimed metal baking sheet on the rack. Preheat oven to 425.

Drain the potatoes and rinse well. Place on a stack of paper towels and pat dry. Add to a large bowl, drizzle with canola oil. Sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, black pepper and sugar. Toss until well coated.

Pour the potatoes onto the baking sheet in an even layer.

Bake for 20 minutes. Turn with a spatula and bake until golden brown, an additional 15-20 minutes.

I love that can dump these in beer and they still…work! That’s amazing! Clearly I dont make enough fries or drink enough beer because this is totally news to me! pinned

I’m always on the quest for perfect oven fries. Can’t wait to make this!

Omg Jackie! I need to make these ASAP. Amazing! PS: Santa freaks me out too.

Okay confession time, I’m a total french fry whore. Not even kidding. I can’t get enough of them. It’s one of the first things I learned how to make when I was younger. My gramma made the best fries on earth and taught me how when I was in grade school. Life changing. But now, well, now you come along and change my life again with beer soaked fries. Seriously you little temptress, this is just too much for me. I may never leave the kitchen again.

Giiiirl… let me at those fries!!! I would pretty much beat someone up to get near a bag of these beer soaked beauts!

Jackie. You’re always so clever. You make my day better by putting more beer in it, like, all the time.

I made these today, i used a Lonerider Peacemaker Pale Ale. I started out with the intent to do these on the grill. but it was raining here. soaked the taters for about 6 hours. i must say, these were amazing. i love the crisp outside and the creamy inside. i ate a bunch as is, then i had some with malt vinegar. i think next time i might go a bit thicker for more of a “steak fry” cut. i can see this being a hit the next time i have some friends over.
