Fries

Optional Serving

Method

Preparing the Fries

  1. 1

    Cutting the Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick strips (about 1/4 inch wide).

  2. 2

    Soaking the Potatoes

    Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Drying the Potatoes

    Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove moisture.

  4. 4

    Frying the Potatoes (First Fry)

    Heat 4 cups of vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 325°F (160°C). Fry the potatoes in batches for about 5-6 minutes until tender but not browned. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Preparing the Battered Fish

  1. 5

    Mixing the Batter

    In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of cornstarch, 1 tsp of baking powder, and 1 tsp of salt. Gradually add 1 cup of cold sparkling water until you achieve a smooth batter.

  2. 6

    Coating the Fish

    Dip each piece of fish fillet into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.

Frying the Fish

  1. 7

    Heating Oil

    In a deep fryer or large pot, heat 4 cups of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 8

    Frying the Fish

    Carefully place the battered fish fillets in the hot oil, frying in batches for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Final Frying of Fries

  1. 9

    Frying the Potatoes (Second Fry)

    Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Fry the pre-fried potatoes in batches for about 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt.

Serving

  1. 10

    Plating the Dish

    Serve the hot fish and chips together on a plate. Optionally, add a side of tartar sauce and lemon wedges for garnish.
