1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick fries. Rinse them in cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
3
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the fries to the hot oil in batches and fry for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
4
Make the Batter
In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the beer until the batter is smooth.
5
Batter the Cod
Dip each cod fillet into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
6
Fry the Cod
Carefully add the battered cod to the hot oil and fry for about 4-6 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
7
Serve
Serve the fish and chips hot, optionally with tartar sauce and lemon wedges on the side.
