NEELY'S FISH AND CHIPS

Steps:

• Tartar Sauce:.
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 3 tablespoons hot pepper relish
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• Dash hot sauce
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Combine all the ingredients in a serving bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let the flavors develop in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
• Preheat a deep-fryer with oil to 375 degrees F.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium heat and add some salt. In small batches, add the cut potatoes and cook for 4 minutes, until they are soft. Carefully remove them from the boiling water and shock in a bowl of icy cold water. Drain and dry well with paper towels. Arrange the potatoes on a paper towel lined sheet tray and let air-dry. Repeat with each batch.
• In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup of the flour, the cornstarch, garlic powder, cayenne, smoked paprika, baking powder, and salt and pepper, to taste. Add the beer and whisk until incorporated. The batter will be slightly lumpy.
• Add the remaining 1 cup of flour to a pie plate. In batches, dredge the fish fillets in the flour, then the beer batter. Let the excess batter drip off and gently lower into the fryer. Fry until golden brown and flip, roughly 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the oil and arrange on a serving platter.

CHOCOLATE CHIPS

Steps:

• Stir 8 ounces chocolate until melted in a medium glass bowl set over a saucepan with lightly simmering water (not touching the bottom of the bowl). Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining 4 ounces chocolate. Cook's Note: This will cool the chocolate down and help it set.
• Dip each potato chip halfway into the melted chocolate. Place on a waxed paper-lined baking tray and place in the refrigerator until hardened, about 20 to 45 minutes.

NEELY'S LIME BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spray the bottom and sides of a 9 by 13-inch cake pan with nonstick spray.
• To make the crust, combine the butter and confectioners' sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed for 2 to 3 minutes, until light and fluffy. Add the flour and salt, and mix another minute until well combined. Transfer the dough to the prepared pan, and pat out to an even thickness over the bottom of the pan. Bake the crust for 20 to 25 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove from the oven, and cook on a baking rack.
• To make the topping, whisk together the eggs and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Add the flour, and whisk until just combined, then whisk in the lime juice and zest. Pour the lime topping over the cooled crust, then bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the filling is set.
• Allow the bars to cool completely. Generously dust with confectioners' sugar and cut into squares.
