FISH CAKES & CHIPS - fish meatballs with fine french fries

Fish & Chips is a traditional, simple and extremely popular dish in the UK. It is mostly prepared or bought on Fridays for dinner. In addition to the usual cod fillet (cod or haddock), the so-called "fish cakes" are also extremely popular - simple fish and potato meatballs. French fries are fried for a short time before frying, which achieves the best internal and external texture of potatoes, soft but not rubbery on the inside and crispy on the outside. :)

Preparation steps

  • Boil fish fillets in water for 2-3 minutes, no need to salt, then drain and leave to cool a bit. Chop the meat into small pieces.
  • Peel the potatoes and cut into small pieces and put to boil for 10-12 minutes in salted water. Drain and mash into a coarse puree, let them be pieces.
  • Finely chop the onion and garlic and fry in butter for about 2 minutes
  • Mix fish and potatoes with onions, add parsley, dill, egg white, pepper, salt, flour and horseradish. Add extra flour as needed if the mixture is too thin.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks and add the bread crumbs to a special plate. With a spoon, take out the fish mixture and dip it in the egg yolks, then in the bread crumbs and put the oven in hot oil. Squeeze a little with a spoon to get a flat shape. If you want bread crumbs you can mix with a little chili stains. Fry each side for 2 minutes.
  • French fries The best french fries are with a floury texture, i.e. old potatoes because they have a small percentage of water. Never use new potatoes or potatoes with a waxy texture. For those in the UK, you probably already know that the best types are Maris Piper and King Edward.
  • Peel a squash, grate it and slice it into long, thick pieces. Put in salted water to cook for 5-7 minutes. Remove and allow to cool slightly and dry. It is best to put in the fridge for 10-15 minutes.
  • Heat the oil and deep fry the chilled potatoes. It must be completely dry before you add it to the oil. Fry for about 7 minutes. It should get a fine golden color but should not darken too much.
  • When it is done put the potatoes on the grill grate to drain the oil and let the potatoes dry and be crispy. After 2-3 minutes, put in a bowl, add salt and be sure to sprinkle with malt vinegar and enjoy! It is best to use vinegar from a jar with pickled hoods! :)
