The Good Bit
- Cut the potatoes into chips (whatever size you prefer) and wash well in the colander and then dry them on kitchen paper, heat the oil in the chip pan too 190c or in the wok (a good amount for deep frying) until a cube of bread takes about a minute to turn golden brown. cook the chips for 5-7 minutes until golden brown then remove with the slotted spoon and place back on kitchen paper.
- Whilst the chips are cooking make the batter, mix the flour and bicarbonate of soda together in the large bowl and whisk in the water until you have a smooth batter, then add the lemon juice and a pinch of salt and stir in well, in the smaller bowl whack a little flour in, then dust each of the cod slices in this flour before dipping them into the batter, shaking off any excess, deep fry these in the chip pan or wok for 5 minutes until the batter is a lovely golden brown then remove onto kitchen paper.
- Now turn up the heat on the chip pan to 210 or on the wok until your cube of bread takes about 30seconds to get to the same colour as last time, and reheat the chips for 2 minutes, then serve! and enjoy.
