Fish and Chips in the Air Fryer

🧂 Ingredients

• 5-6 medium-large Idaho or Russet potatoes
• 2-3 tablespoons avocado or olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Additional spices

  e.g., 1 teaspoon sweet paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon pickle seasoning
• 5 pieces of frozen cod filets
• 1 cup beer

  e.g., Hazy IPA
• 1 large egg
• Avocado or olive oil spray
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  or rice flour for extra crispiness
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• ⅓ cup mayonnaise
• 1 ½ tablespoons dill pickles

  e.g., butter pickles
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon mustard

Instructions

• 1 Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into even-sized wedges, about ½
  inch thick.
• 2 Rinse the potato wedges with cold water until the water runs clear. This helps
  remove excess starch.
• 3 Soak the potato wedges in a bowl of cold water with ice cubes in the fridge for
  at least 30 minutes. This step removes more starch for crispier fries.
• 4 After soaking, drain and pat the potato wedges dry with paper towels to remove
  excess moisture.
• 5 Toss the potato wedges in a shallow bowl with 2-3 tablespoons of avocado or
  olive oil.
• 6 Place the potato wedges in the air fryer basket in layers, ensuring they are not
  overcrowded.
• 7 Cook for 7-10 minutes at 375°F (190°C), tossing halfway.
• 8 Remove the partially cooked fries, then toss them in a bowl with a bit more oil,
  salt, cayenne pepper, and your choice of spices (e.g., paprika, garlic powder,
  pickle seasoning).
• 9 Return the seasoned fries to the air fryer and cook for an additional 7-10
  minutes at 400°F (200°C), tossing a few times for even cooking. The fries should
  be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
• 10 Take the frozen cod filets directly from the fridge and pat them dry with paper
  towels.
• 11 Prepare three medium-sized containers for coating the fish:
• 12 Container #1: Combine 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour with sugar, salt, and
  pepper.
• 13 Container #2: Make the coating batter by sifting flour, mixing it with 1 egg,
  and slowly adding beer until you get a thick but not too liquid batter.
• 14 Container #3: Mix breadcrumbs with salt and pepper.
• 15 Coat each cod fillet with flour, then the beer batter, and finish with
  breadcrumbs.
• 16 Spray the coated fish filets with oil on all sides.
• 17 Place the fish filets in the air fryer and cook for about 10 minutes at
  375-400°F (190-200°C), or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C),
  flipping halfway. Avoid overcrowding the fish and cook in batches.
• 18 Mix together all the ingredients listed for the tartar sauce in the description
  until well combined.
• 19 Serve your homemade Air Fryer Fish and Chips with a side of tartar sauce for
  dipping.
• 20 Enjoy your delicious homemade Fish and Chips right from the air fryer!
