How to Make It
1. Step
Make the chips: Add the potatoes, olive oil, salt, and pepper to a large bowl and toss until the potatoes are well coated.
2. Step
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Spray the basket with nonstick spray.
3. Step
Arrange the fries in the basket in a single layer, making sure they aren’t touching, and cook until tender and golden brown, 12 minutes. Transfer the fries to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
4. Step
Meanwhile, make the fish: Place the cod on a cutting board and pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Step
Add the flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, and the paprika to a shallow bowl and whisk to combine. Beat the eggs in a separate shallow bowl. Add the panko to a third shallow bowl.
6. Step
Coat the cod in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip in the eggs, then the panko, making sure each piece is fully coated.
7. Step
After the fries are done, place a few pieces of cod in the air fryer at a time, making sure they are not touching, and cook until golden brown and cooked through, 10 minutes. Transfer the cod to a serving platter and season with salt. Repeat with the remaining cod.
8. Step
Serve the fish and chips with tartar sauce and lemon wedges.
