I thought the regular fries were pretty good but these are over the top. Season some flour with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper and whisk in water enough that the batter is a little thin. Dry the cut fries with paper towels, dip them one at a time, let any excess batter run off, and drop them into hot oil. Easy now, don’t get splashed with the oil. Keep the fries separated so they don’t stick together. You will be rewarded for your trouble.

This is a slice off of a pork shoulder that cooked for a long time in broth and sauerkraut juice. The meat was very tender and the mustards put this snack over the top. In the middle is homemade Guinness Stout mustard, left is plain yellow, on the right is Dijon.
