I recently saw an episode of Paula's Party and she did big thick crispy steak fries. Well, I'm wanting to do a variance on her recipe, but I can't find it! I think she fried the potatoes for a couple of minutes, let them cool, then dipped them in evaporated milk and then flour & seasoning. Does this sound right? Pre-fry for a couple of minute and then coat?

Paula Deen's Batter-Dipped French Fries


2 lbs russet potatoes

1 (6 ounce) can evaporated milk
oil (for frying)
salt and black pepper (to taste)


1. Heat oil to 325' in a deep fryer or a large deep pot, no more than half full.
2. Slice potatoes into wedges (peel or leave on potato skins).
3. Fry potatoes for 2 minutes and drain, allow to cool off.
4. Turn oil up to 360'.
5. In a bowl combine flour, salt and black pepper and set aside.
6. In another bowl add evaporated milk.
7. Dip cool potato fries in evaporated milk than into flour mixture.
8. Fry 5-10 mintues or until browned.
9. Drain on papertowel and enjoy.
