Beer-battered fish 'n' chips

Give your Dad the royal treatment with this easy yet delicious fish 'n' chips! He'll love the crunchy textures accompanied with a side of seasoned mushy peas. Plus, this version is healthier because it's oven-baked.

Heat oven to 400° F. Peel 2 lbs of potatoes, and chop them into thick slices. Coat with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake for 20 minutes, turning them over halfway through. Meanwhile, toss fish fillets in flour and shake off the excess. You can use haddock, cod or pollock, depending on what's available. Dip into a beaten egg and coat with breadcrumbs. Bake for 20 minutes with the "chips" until golden brown. For the mushy peas, boil 5 ounces of frozen peas for 3 to 4 minutes. Drain, then mix with fresh chopped mint and mash. Combine with 2 tablespoons fresh cream and season to taste.
