Fried Potatoes and Onions
This is a must-have for any fish-fry. Frying the onions in oil before the potatoes adds subtle flavour to the fries. Plus, the onions become meltingly tender inside with crisp edges and a wicked sweetness.

The baked beans at the shore lunch was a dish I always looked forward to. Dipping fresh-cut fried potatoes in beans is certainly better than ketchup!
Frying onions in the oil before adding the potatoes adds subtle flavour to the fries. Plus, the onions become meltingly tender inside, with crisp edges and a wicked sweetness. Oil-blanch the potatoes in very small batches; the moisture in them makes the oil really bubble, which could cause it to overflow.

The inspiration for this dish comes from Eva's husband, who loves fish and seafood. Before the couple had children, Saturdays were known as Seafood Saturday in the Fong house. The Asian spin on this dish displays the diversity we have in Canada: fish and cucumbers from British Columbia, sweet potatoes from Ontario. Eva serves this dish with Sweet Potato Fries.
