I had a sweet potato lying around so I decided to oven fry it to make some "chips" (french fries for those not across the pond). And I just microwaved some frozen green beans to round out the meal. Overall this was fairly simple (although Jeremy isn't looking forward to the dishes... but he never is.).
This was probably more food than we needed to eat in one meal but it ended up getting eaten anyway. Maybe next time I'll get a little less fish and save some of the fries for the next day.
This could be made with any kind of white fish (or probably any fish you wanted to fry for that matter). I used a deep fryer but you could certainly just put a few inches of oil in a pot and watch the temp with a thermometer.
Fish:
2/3 - 3/4 of a pound of haddock or other white fish
1 1/4 c. flour, divided
3/4 c. beer (I used Yuengling light but any beer you like will do - it will just taste slightly different)
1 tsp. hot sauce
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tbs. vegetable oil (plus oil for frying)
1. Mix 3/4 c. flour, salt, cayenne, and baking powder in a medium bowl. Add oil, beer, and hot sauce and mix well to combine. Refrigerate until ready to fry.
2. Heat oil to 375 degrees. Cut the fish into 3"x1" strips.
3. Put 1/2 c. flour into a shallow dish. Working in batches of 2 or 3 pieces, dredge the fish strips in the flour. Dip into the batter. Fry for 4-5 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
4. Place on a cooling rack over a paper towel for a couple minutes to cool slightly. Enjoy!
