Instructions
Cut the potatoes into 1/2-inch thick fries. Soak in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat completely dry.
Heat oil to 325F in a heavy pot or Dutch oven. Fry the chips for 5-6 minutes until cooked through but not browned. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Tip: This double-fry method is the secret to perfect chips: the first fry cooks the inside, the second crisps the outside.
Increase oil temperature to 375F. Fry the chips again for 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy. Season with salt immediately.
Make the batter: whisk flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Pour in the cold beer and stir until just combined (lumps are fine).
Pat the cod fillets dry and dust lightly with flour. Dip into the batter, letting excess drip off. Carefully lower into the 375F oil. Fry for 5-6 minutes until golden and crispy.
Mix the tartar sauce ingredients. Serve the fish and chips on paper-lined plates with tartar sauce, malt vinegar, and lemon wedges.
