Method
- Scrub the potatoes and cut into 1cm-thick chips. Tip into a bowl, add the salt and pour over enough cold water to cover the chips. Turn the chips over a few times in the water with your hands and set aside for 10 mins.
- Heat the air-fryer to 200°C. Drain the chips well and lay on a clean tea towel. Dab the chips with the tea towel until they are completely dry on all sides. Get 3 separate, shallow bowls ready. Add the flour to one bowl and season well. Add the beaten egg to the second bowl and tip the crisps into the third. Break the crisps up with the end of a rolling pin until they are the texture of coarse breadcrumbs.
- Tip the chips into a clean bowl, pour over the vegetable oil and toss until well coated. Add to the air-fryer basket and cook for 25-30 mins, giving the basket a shake every now and then. Pat the fish fillets dry, then dip into the flour, followed by the egg and finally the crisps, until well coated. Arrange a wire rack insert over the chips in the air-fryer and brush with a little oil. Arrange the fish on the oiled rack and cook for the final 10-12 mins of the cooking time, depending on their thickness. You may need to do this in batches.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pan of water to the boil. Add the peas and cook for 3 mins, until tender. Drain, return to the pan and add the butter. Once melted, use a potato masher to crush the peas. Add the mint and lemon juice. Serve the fish, chips and crushed peas with lemon wedges, tartare sauce and ketchup.
