Ingredients
Scale
For the Fish Fingers:
- 1 lb white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock), cut into strips
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 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 Peri Peri Fries:
- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into fries
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon peri peri seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For Serving:
- Your favorite dipping sauces (e.g., tartar sauce, ketchup)
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 shallow dish, beaten eggs in another, and a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a third dish.
- Dredge each fish strip in flour, dip in the beaten eggs, and coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Arrange the breaded fish fingers on the prepared baking sheet.
- Heat a thin layer of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the fish fingers in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the fish fingers back to the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Make the Peri Peri Fries:
- Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat the potatoes dry with a clean towel.
- Toss the potatoes with vegetable oil, peri peri seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- Serve:
- Arrange the crispy fish fingers and peri peri fries on a serving platter. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces.
Notes
For extra crunch, consider double-dipping the fish fingers in the egg and breadcrumb mixture. The peri peri fries can be adjusted for spiciness by adding more or less seasoning.
