Crispy Fish and Chips

I have been making this batter recipe for fish for a while now and I love how crispy it is. Adding cornstarch is the secret ingredient that makes it work. It also lightens the batter, I will have to try some vegetables with it next time I make it. I have a feeling this might just work for tempura if I switch up the water for sparkling water. I’ll let you know when I try it.

I made my own fries for this dinner. When you fry the potatoes you want to do it in 2 stages. Fry them just until they start to almost brown the first time. Remove them from the pan to cool. When cool fry them a second time and you will have perfectly cooked French fries that stay crisp. I remember seeing them do this double fry method years ago as a teenager at Cedar Point. I always thought they had the best French fries ever!
