Fish & Chips Ingredients
Method
Preparation Instructions
Prepare the Fries
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick fries. Soak the fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
Make the Batter
In a large bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Gradually add beer or sparkling water until the mixture is smooth and thick.
Prepare the Fish
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Dip each fillet into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
Fry the Potatoes
In a large pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the soaked fries in batches and fry until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Fry the Fish
Using the same oil, fry the battered fish fillets until golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Serve
Serve the fish and fries hot with tartar sauce and lemon wedges on the side.
