Catfish and Chips Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the potatoes into thick fries. Soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry.

  2. 2

    Make the Tartar Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix tartar sauce with a squeeze of lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Breading

    In a shallow bowl, combine cornmeal, all-purpose flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.

  4. 4

    Coat the Catfish

    Dip each catfish fillet into the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the cornmeal mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

  5. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    In a deep fryer or large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Fry the Catfish

    In the same oil, fry the breaded catfish fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the crispy catfish with the fries and tartar sauce on the side.
