Description

Crispy beer-battered cod and golden potato wedges. Homemade tartar sauce adds a delicious tang.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 lbs (900 g) new potatoes
  • olive oil
  • 1/2 cups (118 ml) all purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp ground garlic
  • 1/2 to 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • pepper
  • salt
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 150 ml (1/2 cups) Mexican beer
  • A few good pieces of wild Alaskan cod filets
  • 4 tbsp mayonaise
  • 4 tbsp Greek yoghurt
  • few gherkins
  • 2 tbsp capers
  • handful of chives
  • splash of chipotle tabasco

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 392°F (200°C).
  2. Put potato wedges on a baking tray, spread them out, and drizzle with olive oil. Season with pepper, salt, and chili powder.
  3. Bake potatoes for 40 minutes, or until golden and crispy, turning halfway through.
  4. For the batter: In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Add chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, thyme, pepper, salt, egg, and beer. Whisk until smooth.
  5. Heat oil in a large frying pan.
  6. Lightly flour cod fillets and dredge in batter.
  7. Fry cod for 5-6 minutes per side, until golden and crispy.
  8. For the tartar sauce: Mix mayonnaise, yogurt, gherkins, capers, and herbs. Add chipotle Tabasco to taste.

Notes

  • For extra crispy potatoes, parboil them for 5-7 minutes before roasting.
  • If you don’t have Mexican beer, substitute with another light beer or sparkling water.
  • Store leftover fish and chips separately; the fish will keep for 1-2 days in the refrigerator.
