WOULD YOU EAT THIS TREMENDOUS BATTERED FISH FINGERS AND HOMEMADE CHIPS

1 lb white fish fillets (like cod or haddock), cut into finger-sized strips

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 large eggs

1 cup breadcrumbs (Panko for extra crunch)

Vegetable oil, for frying

For the Homemade Chips:

4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into thick strips

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt, to taste

Optional: 1 teaspoon paprika or garlic powder

Instructions:

Prepare the Chips:

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Soak the potato strips in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.

Toss the potato strips in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and any additional seasonings (like paprika or garlic powder).

Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

Prepare the Battered Fish Fingers:

In a shallow bowl, mix the flour with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

In another bowl, beat the eggs. Place breadcrumbs in a third bowl.

Dredge each fish strip in the seasoned flour, dip into the beaten eggs, and then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Fry the Fish Fingers:

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the fish fingers in batches, for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serve:

Serve the crispy fish fingers with the homemade chips. You can also add a side of tartar sauce or ketchup for dipping.
