Method
Preparing the Chips
Cut the Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thick strips, about 1/2 inch wide.
Dry the Potatoes
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Final Fry
Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Fry the chips again in batches for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Season with salt to taste.
Preparing the Fish
Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the cold beer or sparkling water until the mixture is smooth and slightly thick.
Heat the Oil
In a deep fryer or large pot, heat vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).
Coat the Fish
Dip each fish fillet into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off.
Fry the Fish
Carefully place the battered fish fillets into the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Serving
Plate the Dish
Serve the crispy fish alongside the golden chips. Add a side of tartar sauce and garnish with lemon wedges.
