Air Fryer Fish and Chips




Go to the pantry and get

  • 1 pound potatoes (probably three) or two baking russets
Wash, scrub and remove any gross bits but do not peel. Cut them in half longwise. Then, with the skin up and fleshy side down, cut each of those halves in half again longwise. Hold the two quarters together so they support each other and make another couple of cuts longwise so you end up with 1/8 potato wedges.

Get a medium-sized bowl and add
  • a glug or two of canola oil
Add your wedges and shake it all about until they are coated with a bit of oil. Then sprinkle on
  • salt
  • pepper

Time to start frying potatoes. Arrange half the potatoes on the top tray and into the fryer. Then the other half on the lower tray. Air fry for

12 minutes at 400

Take out the trays and switch, leaving room for the bottom tray, which is really the drip tray with a rack on top of it. On it place

  • 14 oz uniform fish fillets, mostly thawed but not quite
  • dotted with butter
  • sprinkled with Old Bay

Then air fry everything for

12 minutes at 400

Fries come out. If the fish is done you're eating, otherwise back in for

A few minutes at 400 until done

Don't forget the tartar sauce.
