Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb white fish fillets (cod or haddock)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, whisked
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- Cooking spray (for air frying)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Wash, peel, and cut potatoes into thick chips. Rinse under cold water to remove excess starch.
- Soak potato slices in cold water for 30 minutes; drain and pat dry.
- Season fish fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Set up a coating station: one bowl with seasoned flour, another with whisked eggs, and a third with panko breadcrumbs. Dip each fillet in flour, then egg wash, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and lightly spray the basket.
- Arrange potato chips in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 10 minutes; shake halfway through. Add fish fillets after five minutes and cook everything together for an additional 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve hot with lemon wedges.
