Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes
- 4 fillets fish Cod, skinless and boneless
- 100 g plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 150 ml water Ice-cold
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 litre oil For frying
- vinegar To serve
- salt To serve
Instructions
- Begin by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into thick chips. After that, rinse the chips under cold water, and then use kitchen paper to pat them dry.
- Heat up the oil in a large saucepan or deep fryer to a temperature of 180°C/350°F.
- Combine the flour and baking powder in a mixing bowl and sift them together. Then, add the salt and black pepper and mix them thoroughly.
- Gradually pour the ice-cold water into the flour mixture, whisking continuously until you have a batter that is smooth.
- Take each fish fillet and dip it into the batter, ensuring that it is completely coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
- Carefully place the fish fillets into the hot oil and fry them for 4-5 minutes or until they are golden and crispy. If necessary, fry the fish in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the fish from the oil and place it on a plate lined with kitchen paper to absorb any excess oil.
- Increase the temperature of the oil to 190°C/375°F.
- Add the prepared chips to the hot oil and fry them for 5-6 minutes or until they are golden and crispy. If necessary, fry the chips in batches.
- Remove the chips from the oil and place them on a plate lined with kitchen paper to absorb any excess oil. Season them with salt.
- Serve the fish and chips with a splash of malt vinegar.
