Catfish & Fries (Air Fryer)
Time to try my AirFryer on some Catfish, and I’ll throw some Fries in too.
First I had to find a big enough flat container to put it in, so I could thaw it in the Fridge.
I still had to bust a little end off & put the Fillet in from corner to corner.
So anyway I got it thawed, then rinsed & dried it & cut in into 2 pieces.
I planned ahead on this, and cut it into uneven pieces, so I could fit the Fries into an area of their own in my Fry Basket.
Then I had Mrs Bear (The human Breading Machine) Bread the fish for me, and into the fridge to firm up.
Meanwhile I got out my Fry Cutter & cut up a nice Tater, and put it in cold water & into the fridge.
I rinsed them a few times & kept them in the Fridge until it was time to start the Fryer.
Then I plugged in my AirFryer & set it @ 400° for 30 minutes, so it won’t shut off by itself.
Then I spread my Fries out on paper towels, and patted them dry, and coated them with olive oil.
Then I arranged the two pieces of Catty, so I had the one corner empty for the Fries to have room in the wire Basket.
I ran the fan, and checked the Temp after 18 minutes. Nothing was quite done yet, so I gave it another 3 minutes.
I checked it at 21 minutes, and everything was between 155° and 165°, so I shut it down & pulled it all.
I plated this stuff up & used a little “Kraft Sandwich Spread” with my Fish, as Tartar Sauce.
I often use Sandwich Spread as my Tartar Sauce. Been eating that stuff since I was just a Little Cub.
BTW: This Stuff was Awesome, especially the Fried Catfish!!
Enjoy the Pics,
Bear
