Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into thick chips (about the size of your index finger).
- Place the chips in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch. After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
- Spread the dried potatoes out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Lightly spray them with cooking spray oil. Toss to coat evenly and ensure they’re not overlapping.

- In a small mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, chopped chives, chopped capers, and chopped fresh parsley.
- Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- While the chips are baking, prepare the fish fillets. Pat the fillets dry with paper towels.
- Season the fish fillets on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Lightly spray a non-stick frying pan with cooking spray oil and heat it over medium-high heat.
- Cook the fish fillets in the pan for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
- Once the chips are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven.
- Plate the cooked fish fillets and crispy chips.
- Serve with a generous dollop of the yoghurt tartare sauce on the side.
- Enjoy your homemade fish and chips with the fresh, tangy yoghurt tartare sauce!
