Ingredients

  • 12 oz beer cold (preferably ale)
  • 1.5 lb filets (5 to 6 inches long)
  • cups flour all-purpose
  • servings malt vinegar 
  • 2.3 lb potato boiling
  • 96 fl. oz. vegetable oil 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • baking sheet
  • paper towels
  • oven
  • whisk
  • pot
  • baking pan
  • kitchen thermometer
  • slotted spoon

Directions

  1. Peel potatoes and halve lengthwise, then cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick wedges, transferring as cut to a large bowl of ice and cold water. Chill 30 minutes.
  2. Heat oil in a deep 6-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until it registers 325°F on thermometer. While oil is heating, drain potatoes and dry thoroughly with paper towels. Fry one third of potatoes, stirring gently, until edges are just golden, about 4 minutes.
  3. Transfer with a slotted spoon to fresh paper towels to drain. Fry remaining potatoes in 2 batches, returning oil to 325°F between batches.
  4. Remove oil from heat and reserve. Cool potatoes, about 25 minutes.
  5. Heat oil over moderately high heat until it registers 350°F. Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 250°F.
  6. Fry potatoes again, in 3 batches, until deep golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes per batch. Return oil to 350°F between batches.
  7. Transfer with slotted spoon to fresh paper towels as fried and drain briefly, then arrange in 1 layer in a shallow baking pan and keep warm in upper third of oven.
  8. Increase oil temperature to 375°F. Sift 1 1/2 cups flour into a bowl, then whisk in beer gently until just combined. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  9. Pat fish dry.
  10. Sprinkle fish on both sides with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, then dredge in remaining 1/2 cup flour, shaking off excess. Coat 4 pieces of fish in batter, 1 at a time, and slide into oil as coated. Fry coated fish, turning over frequently, until deep golden and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes.
  11. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet and keep warm in lower third of oven, then fry remaining fish in batches of 4, returning oil to 375°F between batches.
  12. Season fish and chips with salt.
  13. Chips can be fried for the first time 3 hours ahead and kept, uncovered, at room temperature until refrying.
