Instructions
Chips ingredients: 3 russet potatoes, peeled and cut lengthwise into ½-inch thick slices; 3 tablespoons neutral cooking oil (such as canola); kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste; cooking spray. Fish ingredients: ½ cup all-purpose flour; 2 large eggs, beaten; 2 tablespoons water; 1 cup crushed cornflakes cereal; ¼ teaspoon kosher salt; 1¼ pounds cod fillets, cut into large pieces.
- Toss potatoes and oil together in a bowl until potatoes are evenly coated; season with kosher salt and black pepper.
- Spray CrispLid fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange potatoes in the prepared basket in an even layer.
- Set CrispLid trivet in inner steel pot of pressure cooker and set fryer basket on top of trivet.
- Set CrispLid on top of inner steel pot and plug in. Set to 400°F (200°C) and cook potatoes for 10 minutes. Flip fries and continue cooking until crisp, 7 to 10 minutes more. Lift the lid using the handle and set it on the silicone trivet. Remove fries from basket and keep warm.
- Add flour to a shallow bowl. Whisk eggs and water together in a separate shallow bowl. Add cornflakes to a third bowl.
- Sprinkle ¼ teaspoon salt over cod. Dip cod into flour, shaking excess flour back into bowl. Dip fish in egg mixture, then coat with cornflakes.
- Arrange cod in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 4 minutes. Flip cod and cook until crisp on the outside and fully cooked on the inside, about 4 minutes more.
- Return fries to basket and cook for 2 minutes to heat through. Lift the lid using the handle and set it on the silicone trivet. Serve immediately.
Mealthy Tip: Season the potatoes with garlic powder for extra flavor. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the finished product for something extra fancy. Mealthy Tip: Make this a gluten-free meal by substituting almond flour or gluten-free flour for the all-purpose flour and make sure the cornflakes are gluten-free.
