Fish and Chips Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick strips. Rinse under cold water and pat dry with a towel.

  2. 2

    Parboil the Potatoes

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the potato strips and cook for about 5 minutes. Drain and let them cool.

  3. 3

    Make the Batter

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

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the parboiled potatoes to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy (about 5-7 minutes). Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Fry the Fish

    Dip each cod fillet into the batter and carefully place in the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the fish and chips hot with malt vinegar and tartar sauce on the side.
