Fish & Chips Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick fries. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch and pat them dry with a towel.

2. 2

   Par-Cook the Fries

   Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 325°F (160°C). Fry the potatoes in batches for about 5 minutes until they are soft but not browned. Remove and drain on paper towels.

3. 3

   Make the Batter

   In a bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the beer until you achieve a smooth batter.

4. 4

   Fry the Fish

   Increase the oil temperature to 350°F (175°C). Dip each cod fillet into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off, then carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

5. 5

   Finish the Fries

   Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Fry the pre-cooked fries again in batches for about 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.

6. 6

   Serve

   Plate the fish and chips together, and serve with malt vinegar and tartar sauce on the side.
