Best Fried Green Tomatoes from Guy's Grocery Games
Servings 6
Ingredients
- 3 large green tomatoes
- 1 (7.5-ounce) bag Kettle Brand BBQ Potato Chips
- 1 cup plain cornmeal
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup beer
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Slice the tomatoes into 1/8 to 1/4-inch slices and sandwich them between paper towels to wick away excess moisture.
- In the bowl of a food processor, add the potato chips, corn meal, and salt and pulse until the chips are finely crushed. Pour the mixture into a medium bowl and set aside.
- In another medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and beer. Set aside.
- In a third medium bowl, add the all-purpose flour. Set aside.
- Pour about 2 inches of oil into the bottom of a heavy dutch oven or deep cast iron skillet. Be cautious not to fill the vessel any more than 1/3 of the way full. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 350°F.
- Coat the tomatoes lightly in the flour, then dip it into the buttermilk mixture. Then lightly coat them in the potato chip and cornmeal mixture.
- Fry in batches, being cautious not to crowd the pan. Adjust the heat to maintain the temperature as close to 350°F as possible. Cook for 2 minutes on one side, then gently flip and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on the other side. Cook until just lightly golden brown. Drain on a pan lined with paper towels topped with a wire rack to allow the excess oil to drip away. Sprinkle the warm tomatoes with additional salt, if desired. Serve warm.
