BEER BATTERED FISH AND SWEET POTATO FRIES RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Beer Battered Fish and Sweet Potato Fries Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by WBLiquors

Number Of Ingredients 20

Sweet Potato Fries:
4 medium sweet potatoes, skin-on, cut into French fry strips
2 teaspoons canola oil
2 tablespoons corn starch
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Zest of 1 orange
Beer Batter:
One 12-ounce bottle of Sam Adams Summer Ale
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon House Seasoning, recipe follows
Cod:
1 1/2 pounds cod fillets, skin and bones removed, cut diagonally into 4-inch long, 1-inch-wide strips
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 teaspoon salt, for sprinkling after frying, optional
1 lemon, cut into wedges
House Seasoning:
1 cup salt
1/4 cup garlic powder

Steps:

  • For the fries: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the potatoes in a medium bowl. Whisk together the canola oil, paprika, salt, pepper, corn starch and orange zest and toss with the potatoes to evenly coat. Place the potatoes in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast until the potatoes are tender and starting to brown, 40 to 45 minutes. Turn the oven up to 450 degrees F and continue roasting until the potatoes get crispy around the edges, 5 minutes longer. Reduce the oven temperature to 200 degrees F and hold the potatoes in the oven to keep warm while cooking the fish. For the beer batter: Pour the beer into a large bowl. Sift the flour over, whisking in gently until just combined. Pat the fish dry, sprinkle on both sides with the House Seasoning and coat the fish in the beer batter. For the cod: Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet until very, very hot. Remove the fish from the batter using tongs and allow the excess batter to drip off. Place into the hot oil and fry in batches until deep golden and cooked through, turning once, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. While the fish is still hot, sprinkle with the salt, if using, and drizzle with fresh lemon juice. Mix together the salt, garlic powder and pepper until well combined.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Fish: Opt for firm-fleshed fish like cod, haddock, or halibut for perfect fish and chips. These fishes hold their shape well during frying.
  • Get the Perfect Batter: Use a combination of flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper for a light and crispy batter. Adding beer or sparkling water creates a fluffy texture.
  • Control the Temperature: Maintain the oil temperature between 350°F and 375°F (175°C and 190°C). Use a deep fryer or a large pot with a thermometer to monitor the temperature.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Fryer: Avoid overcrowding the fryer to prevent the oil temperature from dropping and making the fish and chips soggy.
  • Drain Properly: After frying, place the fish and chips on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
  • Serve with Classic Sides: Enjoy your fish and chips with traditional accompaniments like tartar sauce, malt vinegar, mushy peas, or coleslaw.

Conclusion:

Mastering the art of fish and chips requires attention to detail, from selecting the right fish and creating the perfect batter to maintaining the ideal frying temperature. With a little practice, you can create this classic dish that's crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and bursting with flavor. Serve it with your favorite sides for a delightful meal that's sure to impress family and friends.
