Walleye and Chips

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chips

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin strips. Rinse under cold water and pat dry.

  2. 2

    Fry the Chips

    Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potato strips in batches until golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and paprika.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Batter

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Walleye

    Dip each walleye fillet into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered fillets into the hot oil and fry for 4-6 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the walleye with crispy chips on the side. Garnish with lemon wedges and enjoy with a cold blonde ale or glass of wine.
