Method
Prepare the Tartar Sauce

Prepare the Fries

Cut and Soak the Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thick fries. Soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

Fry the Fish
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Dip each fish fillet into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil and fry for about 4-6 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
