INGREDIENTS

4 potatoes corn or peanut oil 1 lb cod or 1 lb other lean fish fillet 2?3 cup all-purpose flour 1?2 teaspoon salt 1?2 teaspoon baking soda 1 tablespoon vinegar 2?3 cup water

DIRECTIONS

Cut potatoes lengthwise into -inch strips. Heat oil (2 to 3 inches or enough to cover) in deep fryer or Dutch oven to 375 degrees. Fill basket one-fourth full with potatoes. (I don't have a basket - I use a Fry Daddy and it works fine. Just be sure and put the chips in one at a time so they don't stick to each other.) Skip the next step if you're not using a basket. Slowly lower basket into hot oil. (If oil bubbles excessively, raise and lower basket several times.) Use a long-handled fork to keep potatoes separated. Fry potatoes 5 to 7 minutes or until golden brown; drain on paper towels. Place potatoes in single layer on cookie sheet and keep warm. Repeat with remaining potatoes. Cut fish filets into 2 x 1/-1/2-inch pieces. Pat dry with paper towels. Mix flour and salt. Mix baking soda and vinegar. Stir vinegar mixture and water into flour mixture; beat until smooth. Dip fish into batter, allowing excess batter to drip into bowl. Fry 4 or 5 fish pieces at a time (do not use basket) about 3 minutes, turning fish once, until brown. Drain on paper towels. Set oven control to broil. Broil potatoes 6 inches from heat 2 to 3 minutes or until crisp.
