Leaky Cauldron Fish & Chips | Harry Potter Inspired Recipes
Transport yourself on a truly magical culinary adventure with this spellbinding recipe for crispy fish and chips, inspired by the legendary Leaky Cauldron, where the flavors and enchantment of the wizarding world come to life on your plate
Equipment
- deep fryer optional
Ingredients
FOR FRIED FISH:
- 32 oz cod or halibut filets cut into 4-6 strips
- 2 cups flour
- 1 ½ cup sparkling water
- 1 lemon juiced
- 1 egg whisked
- 1 teaspoon salt & pepper
FOR CHIPS:
- 3 russet potatoes cut into wedges
FOR TARTAR SAUCE:
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons dill pickle finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the deep fryer or large pot with vegetable oil to 325°F. Preheat the oven to 200°F.
- Wash the potatoes and remove the skin (if desired). Cut the potatoes into wedges using 45° degree angles.
- Whisk together the ingredients for the tartar sauce and cool until ready to serve.
- Prepare the batter by whipping together the flour, sparkling water, lemon juice, egg, and salt and pepper.
- Add the potato wedges into the deep fryer and cook for 4-6 minutes, or until the potatoes reach the desired crispiness. Remove from the fryer with a slotted spoon, let them dry for a few seconds on some paper towels, and sprinkle with fresh salt and cracked pepper. Keep the chips warm in the oven while cooking the fish.
- Dip each fish filet strip into the batter. Let the excess drip off before dropping each strip into the deep fryer, in batches of 2-3 strips. Cook for 5-8 minutes or until the fish is cooked and the breading is slightly browned and no longer doughy.
- Remove the chips from the oven and serve them alongside the fish in a basket. Garnish with a lemon wedge, dill pickle, and don't forget to have the latest copy of the Daily Prophet. Enjoy, Muggles!
