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

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.
