Instructions for Pescado Frito con Papa Fritas
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel and cut the potatoes into thin strips to make fries. Soak them in cold water for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat dry.
- 2
Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until you have a smooth batter.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Fry the Fries
Fry the soaked and dried potato strips in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels, seasoning with salt to taste.
- 5
Fry the Fish
Dip each fish fillet into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- 6
Serve
Serve the fried fish hot with crispy fries and lemon wedges on the side.
