Fish And Chips

Prepare the Chips

Preheat your oven to 425째F (220째C).

Place the potato slices in a large bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

Drain and pat the potatoes dry with a towel.

Toss the potato slices with vegetable oil and salt.

Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

Prepare the Batter

In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.

Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until you have a smooth batter. It should be thick enough to coat the fish but not too runny.

Cook the Fish

Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large heavy-bottomed pot to 350째F (175째C).

Dip each fish fillet into the batter, allowing excess to drip off.

Carefully lower the battered fish into the hot oil and fry for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fish and drain on paper towels.
