• ground pepper
• 2 Eggs

Instructions

1. 1.

   Wash the potatoes, brush thoroughly and cut into sticks. Rinse with cold water and pat dry.

3. 3.

   Remove with slotted spoon, drain on paper towels, let cool. Fry all potatoes once.

4. 4.

   Increase oil temperature slightly (about 180°C) and fry all potatoes again portion-wise for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Drain on paper towels. Keep warm in an oven at 100°C if desired until all fries are ready.

   Wash the cod fillet, pat dry, cut into ~2 cm wide strips, drizzle with vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Whisk eggs with starch well. Coat fish strips in flour, tap off excess, then dredge through egg mixture using a fork, let drain slightly and immediately fry in hot oil for about 5 minutes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. For serving, season cod with salt and sprinkle paprika. Serve with fries.
