    1. Temper ½ cup butter.
    2. Preheat oven to 400F.
    3. Thinly slice (2 mm thick) 8 medium potatoes with skin.
    4. On two large baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spread the potato slices.
    5. Brush with 4 tbsp oil and sprinkle with 2 tbsp smoked paprika. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
    6. Bake for 25 minutes or until potatoes are cooked and golden brown.
    7. Serve half of the “almost chips” with the fish and the other half with the chicken nuggets.
    8. Using a food processor or rolling pin, finely crumble ½ cup corn flakes and place in a shallow dish. Add 1 tbsp Italian herbs, salt, and pepper and mix well. This is where the adventurous can add 1 tsp chili powder.
    9. Beat an egg and place in a deep plate. Set aside.
    10. Coat fish fillets with ¼ cup flour, dip in beaten egg and top with cornflake breadcrumbs.
    11. Place the fish on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15 minutes. Serve with a little mayo and lemon wedges.
