Ingredients

Ingredients List

  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into strips

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 cup milk

  • 1 egg

  • 1 quart vegetable oil for frying

  • 1 ½ pounds cod fillets


Directions

  1. Place sliced potatoes in a medium bowl and cover with cold water.

  2. Mix flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper together in a separate medium bowl. Add milk and egg; stir until batter is smooth. Let stand for 20 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large pot or electric skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  4. Drain and pat dry potatoes. Fry in hot oil until tender, about 5 minutes; drain on paper towels.
