Chips

Method

Chips

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

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

  2. 2

    Fry the Chips

    In a deep fryer or large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a towel. Fry the potato strips in batches until golden brown (about 5-7 minutes). Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt to taste.

Fish

  1. 3

    Prepare the Batter

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

  2. 4

    Fry the Fish

    Dip each pollock fillet into the batter, coating evenly. Carefully place the battered fillets into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Tartar Sauce

  1. 5

    Mix the Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, dill pickles, capers, lemon juice, and fresh dill. Mix well and set aside in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
