Fish and Chips
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick fries. Soak them in cold water for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry.
- 2
Make the Batter
In a bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Gradually whisk in the beer until you achieve a smooth batter.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Fry the Chips
Fry the soaked and dried potato fries in the hot oil until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- 5
Fry the Fish
Dip the cod fillets into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place them in the hot oil and fry until golden and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- 6
Serve
Serve the fish and chips hot with lemon wedges and tartar sauce on the side.
