TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Cook: 25 min.
YIELD: 4 servings.

Ingredients

1 pound potatoes (about 2 medium)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
FISH:
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 large egg
2 tablespoons water
2/3 cup crushed cornflakes
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pound haddock or cod fillets
Tartar sauce, optional

Instructions

1. Preheat air fryer to 400°. Peel and cut potatoes lengthwise into 1/2-in.-thick slices; cut slices into 1/2-in.-thick sticks.
2. In a large bowl, toss potatoes with oil, pepper and salt. In batches, place potatoes in a single layer on tray in air-fryer basket; cook until just tender, 5-10 minutes Toss potatoes to redistribute; cook until lightly browned and crisp, 5-10 minutes longer.
3. Meanwhile, in a shallow bowl, mix flour and pepper. In another shallow bowl, whisk egg with water. In a third bowl, toss cornflakes with cheese and cayenne. Sprinkle fish with salt; dip into flour mixture to coat both sides; shake off excess. Dip in egg mixture, then in cornflake mixture, patting to help coating adhere.
4. Remove fries from basket; keep warm. Place fish in a single layer on tray in air-fryer basket. Cook until fish is lightly browned and just beginning to flake easily with a fork, 8-10 minutes, turning halfway through cooking. Do not overcook. Return fries to basket to heat through. Serve immediately. If desired, serve with tartar sauce.
