Ingredients
- potatoes - 500 g
- sunflower oil - 1 l (for frying)
- cleaned squid - 500 g
- cornflour - 2 tablespoons
- water - 100 g
- breadcrumbs - 80 g
- all-purpose flour - 100 g
- salt - to taste
- vegan mayonnaise - to serve (Helmans Vegan Magio)
- lemon slices - to serve

Instructions
- Prepare the potatoes: Clean and cut the potatoes into sticks. Fry in a deep fryer with sunflower oil until golden and crispy. Remove and set aside.
- Prepare the squid: Cut the cleaned squid crosswise in half. In a bowl, add cornflour, water, and a pinch of salt, and mix well. In separate containers, have the breadcrumbs and all-purpose flour ready.
- Bread the squid: Salt the squid and then coat them first in the all-purpose flour, dip them into the cornflour mixture, and finally coat them with breadcrumbs.
- Fry the squid: In batches, fry the breaded squid in hot sunflower oil for 1 to 2 minutes each batch or until they take on a nice color. Remove and drain on absorbent paper.
- Serve: Place the fried potatoes on a plate, top with the fried squid, and serve with vegan mayonnaise, lemon slices, and chopped parsley. Add lemon just before eating to maintain the crispiness of the squid.
