Say goodbye to deep-frying! You can have healthier fish and chips that are still super crispy and incredibly tasty, thanks to the air fryer. We've served ours with peas and tartar sauce, for an easy midweek supper, but a crisp green salad would also be delicious.

Ingredients
For the chips
400g
floury potatoes, such as Maris Piper or King Edwards, peeled and cut into finger sized pieces
2tsp.
vegetable oil
For the fish
15g
plain flour
1tsp.
garlic granules
1
medium egg
40g
panko breadcrumbs
2
skinless cod fillets
Directions
Step 1Preheat air fryer to 200°C, according to manufacturer’s instructions. In a medium bowl, toss the potatoes in the oil with plenty of seasoning to coat. Put the potatoes into the air fryer (in the crisper basket, if your model has one). Cook for 10min, shaking/turning the potatoes halfway through.
Step 2Meanwhile, put flour, garlic granules and plenty of seasoning in a bowl and stir to combine. Put the egg in another bowl and beat well. Put the breadcrumbs into a third bowl.
Step 3Pat the cod fillets with kitchen paper to dry. Dip each cod fillet first into the flour mixture (tap off excess), then egg, and then breadcrumbs to coat.
Step 4After the chips have had their 10min cooking time, give them another shake or turn, then carefully put the coated fish fillets on top of the potatoes and return to the air fryer. Continue to cook for 15min, or until the fish is cooked and slightly golden, carefully turning it halfway through. If chips are cooked and fish needs more time, remove them from airfryer whilst the fish cooks.
Step 5Serve with peas and tartare sauce, if you like.
