Ingredients
Scale
- For the Fish Fingers:
- 1 lb white fish fillets (cod or haddock), cut into strips
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- For the Golden Fries:
- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into fries
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Fish Fingers:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Set up a breading station: Place flour in one dish, beaten eggs in another, and a mix of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a third.
- Dredge each fish strip in flour, dip in eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Arrange on the baking sheet.
- Fry the Fish Fingers:
- Heat a thin layer of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the fish fingers in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Transfer back to the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Make the Golden Fries:
- Soak cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry.
- Toss potatoes with vegetable oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Bake in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
- Serve:
- Arrange crispy fish fingers and golden fries on a serving platter. Serve with dipping sauces like tartar sauce or ketchup.
Notes
For extra crunch, double-dip the fish fingers in egg and breadcrumb mixture. Serve fries immediately for maximum crispiness.
