Method
Preparing the Fries
- 1
Cut the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thick strips (about 1/4 inch thick) to form fries.
- 2
Soak the Fries
Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch.
- 3
Dry and Fry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with a clean towel. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt to taste.
Preparing the Tartar Sauce
- 4
Mix Ingredients
In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, chopped pickles, capers, lemon juice, and fresh dill. Stir well until fully mixed. Adjust seasoning if needed. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Preparing the Fish
- 5
Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Then gradually add cold sparkling water until the batter is smooth and cohesive.
- 6
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- 7
Fry the Fish
Dip each fish fillet into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off. Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil, frying in batches. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
