1
Prepare the Fries
Start by cutting the potatoes into fries. Rinse them in cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
2
Fry the Potatoes
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, then season with salt to taste.
3
Prepare the Fish Batter
In a bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the beer or sparkling water until the batter is smooth.
4
Fry the Fish
In a separate pot with hot oil (350°F or 175°C), dip each fish fillet into the batter and then carefully place it in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
5
Serve
Serve the fried fish alongside the hand-cut fries and garnish with lemon wedges.
