A popular take-out food originating from England. No need to order from a restaurant. Make your own at home, easy to prepare and worth all the time and effort - guaranteed!
Ingredients
* 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into strips
* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 1 tsp baking powder
* 1/2 cup milk
* 1/2 cup beer (or sprite)
* 1 tsp kosher salt
* 1 tsp ground black pepper
* 1 egg
* 1 quart vegetable oil for frying
* 1-1/2 pounds cod or tilapia fillets
Alcohol included!
Directions
1. Place potatoes in a medium-size bowl of cold water for 1 minute then put in a strainer lined with cold towel. I like to keep things dry if I’m deep-frying.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in the milk, beer (or sprite) and egg; until mixture is smooth. Let stand for 20 minutes.
3. Preheat oil in a large pot or electric skillet to 350F.
4. Fry potatoes in hot oil until tender. Drain on paper towels.
5. Dredge fish in batter, one piece at a time and immerse in hot oil. When batter is set, turn fish over and fry until golden brown.
6. Note: Maintain the 350F temperature.
7. Drain well on paper towels or on roasting rack.
8. Fry potatoes again for 1-2 minutes for added crispness.
9. Serve with malt vinegar or tartar sauce. Enjoy!
