Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Drain and pat dry potatoes. Fry in hot oil until tender, about 5 minutes; drain on paper towels.
Step 2
Fry potatoes again in hot oil until crisp, 1 to 2 minutes; drain on paper towels.
Step 3
Place sliced potatoes in a medium bowl and cover with cold water.
Step 4
Mix flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper together in a separate medium bowl. Add milk and egg; stir until batter is smooth. Let stand for 20 minutes.
Step 5
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large pot or electric skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 6
Dredge cod in batter, one piece at a time, and place in hot oil. Fry fish in batches until golden brown on all sides; drain on paper towels. Monitor oil temperature, increasing the heat as needed to maintain 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
