1 tsp salt
1 1/2 Tbsp baking powder
1/4 cup powdered sugar
2 Tbsp cocoa powder
1 1/3 cup milk extra milk to cover fish

1/2 Tbsp salt
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions:

Sweet Potato Chips
1. Place the evenly sliced potatoes in a plastic freezer bag, add the corn starch and shake the potatoes.
Add the olive oil and shake the potatoes again to combine. Lastly, sprinkle on the spice mixture then
shake to combine one more time.
2. Place the fries on a parchment lined baking sheet, making sure there is no overlap. If your fries don’t
fit, use a second baking sheet.
3. Pop the fries in the oven at 450 degrees for 15 minutes. Flip the fries then bake for another 10
minutes, until the fries are crispy and the edges are just beginning to brown.

Red Velvet Fish

1. Place the cod strips in a bowl and cover with soy milk. This process helps to get rid of the fishy smell.
Leave the fish in the bowl for 10 minutes then dry on a paper towel.
2. Whisk together the dry ingredients for the fish. Separately, whisk together the wet ingredients.
3. Add the ice to the wet ingredients then pour the mixture into the dry ingredients. Whisk to combine.
4. Fill a medium pot with vegetable oil and set it over medium heat with a candy thermometer. Trust me,
you want a thermometer for this one!
5. When the temperature reaches 350 F, which takes around 10 minutes, the fish is ready to
fry. Just make sure the oil doesn't get much hotter than 350 degrees so you may have to lower the
heat on your stove to balance it out.
6. Set up a dipping station with the cod, a small bowl of flour and the red velvet batter. Add the club
soda to the batter and whisk to combine.
7. Dip the fish in the flour, shake it off and dip in the batter.
8. Carefully placed three slices of fish at a time in the hot oil and cook for 4 minutes. Flip the fish once or
twice to make sure the fish cooks evenly.
9. Place the cooked fish on a cooling rack when it is cooked through.
