Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick fries. Soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the beer until you have a smooth batter.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep fryer or large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry. Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and set aside.

  5. 5

    Fry the Fish

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

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the fish and chips hot with malt vinegar drizzled over them.
