Step 2

Wash and thoroughly dry potatoes. Slice potatoes into french fry sized pieces according to preference.

Step 8

Gradually mix in beer until a thin batter is formed.

Step 9

Dip fish fillets in batter and gently place them one at a time into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown turning once. Drain on paper towels. Put fish on a prepared baking sheet and place in oven to keep warm.

Step 10

Return the heat on the deep fryer to 190° C (375° F).

Step 11

Fry potatoes a second time until desired crispness, approximately 6-8 minutes.
