Steps
Prepare the fish: Steam or lightly poach the white fish until cooked through. Flake it with a fork, ensuring no bones remain.
Mix the bites: In a mixing bowl, combine the flaked fish, mashed potato, and egg yolk. Mix well to form a soft mixture.
Shape into bites: Form small, toddler-friendly bite-sized pieces (about 6–8 bites). Roll each piece in the crushed crackers or breadcrumbs to coat lightly.
Cook in the air fryer: Arrange the bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray with olive oil. Air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until lightly golden and firm.
Cool and serve: Allow the bites to cool for a few minutes before serving to ensure they are safe for little hands to handle.
