FISH AND CHIPS

Steps:

• Fill a large bowl with water and add 1 tablespoon salt and 1 tablespoon vinegar per gallon. Cut the potatoes into fries, placing into the salted water immediately after cutting.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then add 1 teaspoon salt per gallon and cook the fries until they are tender but not mushy, 12 to 13 minutes. Turn out onto a tray and chill, uncovered, for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
• Add the peanut oil to a large heavy-bottomed pot or a deep fryer and preheat to 360 degrees F.
• Cut the fish into 8 finger-like pieces of equal size. Sprinkle each piece with salt. Set aside while you get the batter ready.
• Add 1 1/2 cups all-purpose and 1 1/2 cups instant flour to a bowl and mix well. Stir in the sugar, baking powder and vodka. Slowly add the beer, mixing until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
• Add the remaining cup all-purpose and cup instant flour to a shallow dish and mix to combine.
• Place the fish fillets in the flours and dredge until evenly coated. Add the floured fish to the batter and let the excess drain off. Fry until golden brown and delicious, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the oil, then drain on paper towels and season with salt.
• Fry the potatoes until golden brown and floating, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oil and add to a heatproof bowl. Season with the salt and malt vinegar and gently toss to combine.
• Place the fries on a plate or basket, then top with the fish and serve with the malt vinegar and tartar sauce.

KALE CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
• Tear the leaves off the center rib of the kale and tear into large pieces. Place leaves in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil and toss until completely coated.
• Divide kale between 2 baking sheets lined with parchment. Arrange in a single layer and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place in the oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until crisp. Place in a serving bowl and sprinkle with brown sugar.

NEELY'S FISH AND CHIPS

Steps:

• Tartar Sauce:.
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 3 tablespoons hot pepper relish
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• Dash hot sauce
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Combine all the ingredients in a serving bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let the flavors develop in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
• Preheat a deep-fryer with oil to 375 degrees F.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium heat and add some salt. In small batches, add the cut potatoes and cook for 4 minutes, until they are soft. Carefully remove them from the boiling water and shock in a bowl of icy cold water. Drain and dry well with paper towels. Arrange the potatoes on a paper towel lined sheet tray and let air-dry. Repeat with each batch.
• In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup of the flour, the cornstarch, garlic powder, cayenne, smoked paprika, baking powder, and salt and pepper, to taste. Add the beer and whisk until incorporated. The batter will be slightly lumpy.
• Add the remaining 1 cup of flour to a pie plate. In batches, dredge the fish fillets in the flour, then the beer batter. Let the excess batter drip off and gently lower into the fryer. Fry until golden brown and flip, roughly 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the oil and arrange on a serving platter.

CHOCOLATE CHIPS

Steps:

• Stir 8 ounces chocolate until melted in a medium glass bowl set over a saucepan with lightly simmering water (not touching the bottom of the bowl). Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining 4 ounces chocolate. Cook's Note: This will cool the chocolate down and help it set.
• Dip each potato chip halfway into the melted chocolate. Place on a waxed paper-lined baking tray and place in the refrigerator until hardened, about 20 to 45 minutes.
