Air Fryer Fish and Chips | Good Housekeeping UK

white fish

🥗Healthier: cod

💰Cheaper: pollock

Pollock is often less expensive and still offers a good texture.

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds more nutrients.

beer

🥗Healthier: sparkling water

💰Cheaper: non-alcoholic beer

Sparkling water can create a lighter batter.

Preheat 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.

Meanwhile, 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.

Pat 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.

After 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 air fryer whilst the fish cooks.

Serve with peas and tartare sauce, if you like.
