Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces White Fish Fillets About 150g each, mild and flaky, ideal for breading and air frying.
- 3 medium Potatoes Peeled and cut into thick fries; Russets are perfect for crisp edges.
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs (Panko preferred) Adds crunch and texture to the fish coating.

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.

- Lightly grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
- Dredge fish in flour, dip in egg, and coat with breadcrumbs.
- Toss fries with salt and oil spray.
Cooking

Notes
For extra crunch, double dip your fish: coat it in flour, dip in egg, then coat in breadcrumbs, and repeat. Experiment with seasonings by adding garlic powder or lemon zest to the flour mixture. Ensure your fish is patted dry before breading to help the coating stick better. Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches for even results. Keep an eye on cooking times, as different air fryer models may vary slightly in temperature accuracy.
