Ingredients

• 2 lbs cod fillets
• 4 large russet potatoes
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 cup cold beer
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• salt and black pepper
• 4 cups vegetable oil

Directions

1. Peel the potatoes and slice them into thick sticks about half an inch wide, then soak in cold water for 30 minutes and pat dry.
2. Heat the oil in a deep pot to 325°F, fry the potato sticks in batches for about 4 minutes until just tender but not browned, then remove and drain on paper towels.
3. Raise the oil temperature to 375°F and fry the chips a second time for 3 to 4 minutes until golden and crispy, then season with salt and set aside.
4. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, a pinch of salt and pepper, then stir in the cold beer until a smooth batter forms.
5. Pat the cod fillets dry, season lightly with salt and pepper, then dip each piece fully in the batter letting any excess drip off.
6. Fry the battered fish in the hot oil for 4 to 5 minutes per side until deep golden brown, drain on paper towels, and serve hot alongside the chips.
