Recipe information

Make Fish And Chips in just 1h . Classic fish and chips with house tartar sauce.

Prepare the Chips

1. Cut the Potatoes

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

2. Soak the Potatoes

Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

3. Heat the Oil

In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

4. Fry the Potatoes

Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels. Fry them in the hot oil for about 5 minutes until they are pale and soft but not browned. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Prepare the Tartar Sauce

5. Mix the Ingredients

In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, chopped dill pickles, capers, lemon juice, and fresh dill.

6. Season the Sauce

Add salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well and refrigerate until serving.

Prepare the Fish

7. Make the Batter

In a bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the ice-cold water until the batter is smooth.

8. Heat the Oil

In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

9. Batter the Fish

Dip each white fish fillet into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off.

10. Fry the Fish

Carefully place the battered fish fillets into the hot oil and fry for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

11. Double Fry the Chips
