Method

Preparing the Chips

  1. 1

    Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the large potatoes and cut them into thick wedges. Place them in a bowl of cold water to soak for about 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Step 2: Fry the Chips

    Heat 2 cups of vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, drain the potato wedges and pat them dry with paper towels. Carefully add the wedges to the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.

Preparing the Calamari

  1. 3

    Step 1: Set Up Breading Station

    In one bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. In another bowl, beat the egg.

  2. 4

    Step 2: Bread the Calamari

    Dip each calamari ring first in the beaten egg, allowing excess to drip off, then coat it in the flour mixture, ensuring it's well covered.

  3. 5

    Step 3: Fry the Calamari

    In another deep frying pan, heat 2 cups of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded calamari rings in batches. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Serving

  1. 6

    Step 1: Plate the Dish

    On a serving platter, arrange the crispy chips and calamari. Serve with lemon wedges and tartar sauce on the side for dipping.
