How To Make beer battered potato wedges with saffron aioli

  • Step 1
    Mix the beer, milk, egg, and 1 1/4 cups of flour, and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Step 2
    Cook the potato wedges in salted boiling water for about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool.
  • Step 3
    Mix the mayo, vinegar, and saffron and set aside. Set the remaining flour in a shallow dish.
  • Step 4
    Bring the oil to 375 degrees F in a deep pan or deep fryer. Dredge the potatoes in the flour, then in the beer batter.
  • Step 5
    Fry in batches so as not to crowd the pan until golden brown.
  • Step 6
    Drain on paper towel-lined paper plates. Serve with the aioli.
