Method

1. Peel the potatoes⁴, cut them into small cubes, and boil in salted water for 12 minutes until tender and easily mashed with a fork.

2. Drain the water, add the milk⁵ and butter⁶, mash the potatoes⁴, cover, and keep warm.

3. Pat the pollock¹ dry and cut into serving pieces, then season with salt and a little pepper.

4. Beat the egg with the flour and 1–2 spoonfuls of water to make a thick batter with no dry lumps.

5. Heat a frying pan with oil over medium heat, dip the fish in the batter, and fry for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden and white inside.

6. Serve the pollock¹ right away with the mashed potatoes⁴.
