Prepare the Chips

  2. Toss the potato strips in olive oil, salt, and any additional seasonings if desired.

  3. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

Make the Batter for Fish Fingers

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

  2. Gradually whisk in cold sparkling water until smooth.

Batter and Fry the Fish Fingers

  1. Heat oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Dip each fish strip into the batter, letting excess drip off.

  3. Carefully place in hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

  4. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serve

  1. Arrange the crispy chips and fish fingers on a serving plate.

  2. Serve with tartar sauce, ketchup, or malt vinegar for dipping.

Tips & Tricks
