Prep time : 15 mins
Cooking time : 15 mins
Serves : 4
Ingredients :
3 all purpose potatoes
polyunsaturated oil, for deep-frying
125g self-raising flour
1 egg, beaten
185ml beer
4 white fish fillets
plain (all purpose) flour, for dusting
125g ready made tartare sauce
Method :
Wash the potatoes, but do not peel them.
Cut into thick wedges, then dry with paper towels.
Fill a large heavy-based saucepan two thirds full with oil and heat.
Gently lower the potato wedges into medium hot oil.
Cook for 4 mins, or until tender and lightly browned.
Carefully remove the wedges from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Stir the self-raising flour with some freshly ground black pepper into a large bowl and make a well in the centre.
Add the egg and beer.
Using a wooden spoon, stir until just combined and smooth.
Dust the fish fillets in the plain flour, shaking off the excess.
Add the fish fillets one at a time to the batter and toss until well coated.
Remove the fish from the batter, draining off the excess batter.
Working with one piece of fish at a time, gently lower it into the medium hot oil.
Cook for 2 mins, or until golden and crisp and cooked through.
Carefully remove from the oil with a slotted spoon.
Drain on paper towels, and keep warm while you cook the remainder.
Return the potato wedges to the medium-hot oil.
Cook for another 2 mins, or until golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Serve the wedges immediately with the fish and tartare sauce.
If desired, serve with wedges of lemon and garnish with fresh dill.
