Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (450 g) white fish fillets (cod, haddock, or pollock)
- 4 medium potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (120 g) breadcrumbs or panko
- ½ cup (60 g) all-purpose flour
Seasoning Ingredients:
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon paprika (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Cooking and Serving Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Tartar sauce
- Ketchup
- Vinegar
- Lemon wedges
Instructions
- Prepare potato strips by peeling and cutting into uniform thick wedges, then submerge in cold water for 20-30 minutes to eliminate surface starch and ensure crispier results.
- Drain potato strips thoroughly and pat completely dry using a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture, which prevents soggy chips.
- Season potato strips with vegetable oil, sprinkling salt and optional paprika for enhanced flavor profile, ensuring even coating by gently tossing in a mixing bowl.
- Arrange seasoned potato strips on a large baking sheet, spreading them in a single, uncrowded layer to promote optimal browning and crispy texture.
- Roast potato strips in a preheated oven at 425F (220C), rotating the baking sheet midway through cooking to guarantee consistent golden-brown coloration and crunchy exterior.
- While chips are roasting, prepare fish fingers by coating with seasoned breadcrumbs, ensuring complete coverage for a crisp, flavorful exterior.
- Cook fish fingers in the same oven alongside chips, timing them to finish simultaneously for a perfectly synchronized meal presentation.
- Remove both chips and fish fingers from oven when they achieve a deep golden color and crispy texture, allowing a brief resting period before serving.
Notes
- Soak potatoes in cold water to remove extra starch, ensuring crispier chips that won’t stick together during baking.
- Pat potatoes completely dry before adding oil and seasoning to help achieve maximum crunchiness and prevent soggy results.
- Spread potato strips in a single layer without overcrowding the baking sheet, allowing hot air to circulate and create evenly golden chips.
- Experiment with different seasonings like garlic powder, rosemary, or chili flakes to add exciting flavor variations to your classic chips.
