- In a separate mixing bowl, mix together 1/3 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and pepper and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder.
- In a small mixing bowl, beat egg and add 1/2 cup of beer and whisk until blended.
- Pour egg/beer mixture into the flour mixture and stir until well blended and the batter is smooth.
- Meanwhile, in a medium size frying pan or saucepan, heat the oil to 350°F.
- Drain the sliced potatoes and shake off any excess water.
- Dredge the potato slices in the flour to coat all sides.
- Now dip the slices in the batter and coat well on all sides.
- Drop a few batter coated slices in the heated oil and deep fry for about 1 minute, then turn over and continue to fry for another 1 minute.
- When done, remove to paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve with ketchup, yogurt or sour cream.
