Crash Hot Potatoes and Beer Battered Cod!

Sam here with an update! We haven't been doing many posts lately, shame on us, and there have been many cheeseburgers consumed in the past few days. Boo!

But tonight, I stepped up and made what will hopefully be a delicious meal.




Crash Hot Potatoes (Sam Style) - easy


What We Used:
  • 1 small bag young red potatoes, skin on
  • coarse salt
  • roasted peppers and garlic ( premade spice in a bottle )
  • grapeseed oil
Boil the potatoes till they're tender but not too mushy. Oil a pan generously once they're finished and break out the potato masher!

Put the potatoes on the pan one at a time and mush them down, but don't mush too much, you're just trying to flatten them a bit. Once you're done pressing them, grab your salt and whatever spices you wish to use and sprinkle on top of the potatoes.

Finish with more oil and bake them in the oven at 400 until they're golden and crispy.


Beer Battered Cod - Intermediate (for deep frying action)

What We Used
  • 1 package of cod
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cup of Guinness ( you can use whatever type of beer you'd like, this is what we had )
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper
  • 1 egg
Put the flour, spices and egg in a bowl and mix together a bit. Add in the Guinness until you've got the right consistancy. I cut the bits of cod we had in half since they were REALLY long.

Heat oil in a pan ( We used the Mok Wok ) and then dip pieces of cod in the batter and pop them into the hot oil until they're crispy and golden! Voila!


Verdict?

Holy shit oh my god.

And while we're at it, here's some long belated images...
