Fries Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin fries, around 1/4 inch thick.
- 2
Soak the Fries
Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This will help remove excess starch.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep fryer or a large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Fry the Potatoes
Drain the soaked fries and pat them dry. Fry them in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt while hot.
Fish Preparation
- 5
Prepare the Ahi
Season the Ahi tuna fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
- 6
Make Tempura Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the tempura batter mix with cold water according to the package instructions to achieve a smooth batter.
- 7
Bread the Fish
Dip each Ahi fillet into the tempura batter, allowing excess batter to drip off. Then coat the fillet with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- 8
Fry the Fish
In a separate frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Carefully add the breaded Ahi fillets and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
