Fish Batter

Method

Prepare the Chips

  1. 1

    Cut the Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thick strips (about 1/2 inch wide).

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Dry the Potatoes

    Drain and thoroughly dry the potatoes using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

  4. 4

    Preheat Oil

    In a deep fryer or a large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Chips

    Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot oil in batches and fry until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, then sprinkle with salt.

Prepare the Fish

  1. 6

    Make the Batter

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the cold sparkling water until you achieve a smooth batter.

  2. 7

    Coat the Fish

    Dip each white fish fillet into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.

  3. 8

    Fry the Fish

    Carefully place the battered fish fillets into the hot oil (same oil used for chips) and fry for about 4-6 minutes or until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Prepare the Tartar Sauce (optional)

  1. 9

    Mix the Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, finely chopped dill pickles, lemon juice, and capers. Stir until well mixed.
