Simple fish & chips
Created by TV chef Paul Bloxham, this fish and chips dish is really easy to make and much better for you than the traditional takeaway!
What you need:
- 400g floury potatoes such as Maris Piper, King
- Edward and Desiree
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 x 200g skin on white fish i.e. cod or haddock fillets
- 1 medium egg, beaten
- 100g fresh white breadcrumbs
What you do:
- Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6.
- Peel and cut the potatoes into 1cm slices and then into chips. Place in a large bowl or plastic bag and add the oil, toss well to coat. Transfer to a large non stick baking tray. Bake for 30-35 minutes.
- Meanwhile, dip the fish in the egg and coat in breadcrumbs; add to the baking tray with the chips for the last 20-25 minutes. Season with vinegar and a sprinkling of salt and twist of black pepper.
Paul's handy tip:
'Try also serving your chips with pollock, bream, snapper or sole to make a tasty and eco alternative.'
