For the Chips

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

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

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add the cold sparkling water while whisking until smooth.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chips

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 325°F (160°C). Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with a towel. Fry the potato strips in batches for about 5-6 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Fry the Fish

    Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Dip the cod fillets into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Fry the fillets in batches for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the hot fish and chips with a sprinkle of salt and your favorite dipping sauce.
