Method
Based on 2 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Mix together the cornflour, paprika and mixed herbs with salt and freshly ground black pepper and spread out on a large dinner plate. Coat the fish fillets in the flour mixture on both sides - the fish fillets are now ready to fry.
Step 2
Cut the potatoes into 1cm-thick chips using a large, sharp knife. Leave the skin on, or peel them, if you like.
Step 3
Put the chips in a large mixing bowl, then add 2 tbsp of the vegetable oil and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Toss until well coated. Set the air-fryer to 200C and cook the chips for around 18-22 mins, turning halfway (or shake the air-fryer basket) until crisp and cooked. Alternatively, you can cook them in the oven at 200°C for 35 minutes. Keep warm while you cook the fish or cook it in the second air-fryer basket, if you have one.
Step 4
Spread the remaining vegetable oil out on a large dinner plate and dredge the coated fish in the oil to cover. Set the air-fryer to 200C and cook for 8-10 mins (depending on the size of your fish fillets), carefully turning halfway. Serve with mushy peas and tartar sauce, if you like.
