Method
Preparing the Fries
- 1
Cut the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick) to form fries.

Soak the Fries
Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch.
- 3
Dry the Fries
After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Fry the Potatoes
In a deep pot or fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the dried fries in batches and fry for 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
Preparing the Fish

Make the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the beer until you achieve a smooth batter.

Heat the Oil

Fry the Fish
