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

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 (recipe on my page). Enjoy!
