Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fries

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick strips to create fries. Rinse with cold water to remove excess starch, then pat dry with a towel.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Oil

    In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F).

  3. 3

    Fry the Fries

    Carefully add the potato strips to the hot oil in batches. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt to taste.

  4. 4

    Make the Batter

    In a bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the cold sparkling water until you achieve a smooth batter.

  5. 5

    Fry the Fish

    Dip each fish fillet into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place in the hot oil, frying in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the crispy fish alongside the fries, garnished with lemon wedges and tartar sauce.
