Baked Fish and Chips
- 3 medium russet potatoes (1 1/4 pounds)
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- Kosher salt
- Olive oil cooking spray
- 2 3/4 cups crispy rice cereal
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 large egg whites
- 1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless Pollock (or other firm white fish), cut into 2-by-4-inch pieces
- Tartar sauce and/or malt vinegar, for serving (optional)
- Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F using the convection setting, if available.
- Place a baking sheet on one of the racks to preheat.
- Prepare the chips: Cut the potatoes into 1/4-inch-thick sticks.
- Toss with the olive oil and cayenne in a bowl.
- Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven, add the potatoes and spread in an even layer.
- Use a rubber spatula to scrape any oil from the bowl over the potatoes.
- Bake on the top oven rack, turning once, until browned and crisp, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Season with salt.
- Meanwhile, make the fish: Set a wire rack on a baking sheet and coat with cooking spray.
- Lightly crush the cereal in a bowl with your fingers.
- Add 2 teaspoons salt, and black pepper to taste.
- In another bowl, whisk the egg whites and a pinch of salt until frothy.
- Dip the fish in the egg whites, then roll in the cereal crumbs to coat.
- Place the fish pieces on the rack (position them on their sides so that the majority of the crust is exposed) and mist with cooking spray.
- Bake the fish on the bottom oven rack until crisp and just cooked through, about 12 minutes.
- Season with salt and black pepper.
- Serve the fish and chips with tartar sauce and/or malt vinegar, if desired.
