Fish And Chips Recipe

Fish and Chips Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Wash and peel the large potatoes. Cut them into long strips to create fries.

2. 2

   Soak the Fries

   Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

3. 3

   Make the Batter

   In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the beer or sparkling water until the batter is smooth and thick.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a deep frying pan or a pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it; if it sizzles and rises, the oil is ready.

5. 5

   Fry the Potatoes

   Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with a paper towel. Fry the potatoes in the hot oil in batches until they are golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Season with salt.

6. 6

   Fry the Cod

   Dip each cod fillet into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil and fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

7. 7

   Serve

   Plate the hot fries and fish. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
