Possibly the BEST Fish & Chips | Spanish Patatas Rebozadas con Bacalao

These Spanish Style Fish & Chips, known as Patatas Rebozadas con Bacalao, are possibly the best fish & chips ever. We´re talking cod fillets fried in extra virgin olive oil, and then served next to some battered potatoes. Serve this dish next to a garden salad and a bottle of Spanish wine for the ultimate experience.

Fish & Chips
For the fish I used cod fillets I bought frozen and thawed out. But you can also use fresh cod if you like, as well as any other type of firm white fish. Either way, make sure to pat the fish completely dry with paper towels before coating in the flour mixture.

Fish & Chips
For the potatoes I used yukon gold potatoes, and I did keep the skins on. However, any type of potatoes can be used here and you can peel them if you like. The secret, make sure to cut them into thin rounds and all in the same thickness, that way they all evenly cook.

Fish & Chips

TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: I fried the potatoes for 5 minutes per side on a medium heat. Important to use a medium heat and nothing higher, otherwise the potatoes will brown to quickly in the outside and not fully cook in the inside.
