Method
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick fries, around 1/4-inch wide.
- 2
Soak the Fries
Soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.
- 3
Parboil the Fries
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the soaked fries and cook for about 5 minutes. Drain and let them cool on paper towels.
- 4
Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Slowly whisk in the beer until the batter is smooth and thick.
- 5
Heat the Oil
In a deep fryer or large heavy pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the right temperature.
- 6
Fry the Potatoes
Fry the parboiled potatoes in the hot oil for about 5-6 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. You may need to fry in batches.
- 7
Fry the Fish
Dip the cod fillets into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated. Carefully place them into the hot oil and fry for 4-5 minutes until they are golden and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- 8
Serve
Serve the fried fish and chips hot, garnished with malt vinegar and tartar sauce to taste.
