- Combine potatoes, oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir so potatoes are covered with oil.

- Bake for 15 minutes. Turn potatoes over and bake for 15 minutes more, for a total of 30 minutes.
- Cut each fillet into two strips.
- Place cornflakes in a plastic bag. Crush by rolling a glass over the bag.
- Beat egg and water together in a bowl.
- Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray. Put flour on a dish. Dip each strip into flour, then egg mixture, then cornflakes.
- Place fish on the sheet and bake in over for 15 minutes until fish is 145°F or flakes easily with a fork.
