Fish and Fries

Name: Fish and Fries
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 35 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings.
Ingredients: 1 pound potatoes (about 2 medium); 2 tablespoons olive oil; 1/4 teaspoon pepper; FISH:; 1/3 cup all-purpose flour; 1/4 teaspoon pepper; 1 large egg; 2 tablespoons water; 2/3 cup crushed cornflakes; 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese; 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper; 1 pound haddock or cod fillets; Tartar sauce, optional

For an awesome crunch and golden color without deep frying, we coat fish with cornflake crumbs and bake it. Try it with homemade french fries for a fun spin on fish and chips. —Janice Mitchell, Aurora, Colorado

Ingredients

1 pound potatoes (about 2 medium)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon pepper
FISH:
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 large egg
2 tablespoons water
2/3 cup crushed cornflakes
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 pound haddock or cod fillets
Tartar sauce, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°. Peel and cut potatoes lengthwise into 1/2-in.-thick slices; cut slices into 1/2-in.-thick sticks.
In a large bowl, toss potatoes with oil and pepper. Transfer to a 15x10x1-in. baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crisp, stirring once.
Meanwhile, in a shallow bowl, mix flour and pepper. In another shallow bowl, whisk egg with water. In a third bowl, toss cornflakes with cheese and cayenne. Dip fish in flour mixture to coat both sides; shake off excess. Dip in egg mixture, then in cornflake mixture, patting to help coating adhere.
Place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake 10-12 minutes or until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork. Serve with potatoes and, if desired, tartar sauce.

There's a restaurant in West Seneca, NY (outside Buffalo) that offers chicken cooked this way, except they coat it with Capt'n Crunch cereal!

My family liked this recipe. It was easy to make so I'll probably make it again. I seasoned the fries a bit more.

Nice crunch to this fish topping. Take care not to overbake as the fish gets less moist & a little chewy. But I will make again... was good.

This turned out well, especially the fries. However, the cook seems to have an aversion to salt, so I added some to both the fish & the fries.

This fish turned out crispy and good. I, too, added salt to the fries.

Loved it. I did add season salt to my fries as well - just seemed to need it as I was throwing them together. It was a great lighter alternative to fried fish. No smoke alarm issues here. :)

Fish and fries were very good. The only change I made was to add seasoned salt to the fries, and they turned out soo good! Weird, but i also had a problem with my smoke alarm, like another reviewer.

Did not make the fries to go with this because I don't have any potatoes on hand to make fries. This was very easy to make and very yummy. Due to a problem with my smoke alarms in my apartment I can't turn the oven to 425, so I baked the fish at 375 for a half an hour. It turned out perfectly, and I can't wait to make it again for lunch tomorrow.
