Method

Preparation of Fries

  1. 1

    Cut the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

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

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil for Fries

    In a deep fryer or a large, heavy pot, heat 4 cups of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels. Fry them in batches for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels, then sprinkle with salt.

Preparation of Fish

  1. 5

    Make the Batter

    In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of cornstarch, 1 tsp of baking powder, 1 tsp of salt, and 1 tsp of black pepper. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of cold sparkling water until the batter is smooth.

  2. 6

    Heat the Oil for Fish

    In a separate deep fryer or the same pot used for fries, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  3. 7

    Coat the Haddock

    Dip each haddock fillet into the batter, making sure it is fully coated.

  4. 8

    Fry the Fish

    Carefully place the battered haddock fillets into the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serving

  1. 9

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the golden fried haddock alongside the crispy french fries. Optionally, garnish with lemon wedges and tartar sauce.
