Air Fryer Fish and Chips

Preparation

1
Wash and pat dry the potatoes. Cut them into fry shapes (about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick). For crispier fries, you can soak them in cold water for 15-30 minutes, then drain and pat very dry.
2
In a large bowl, toss the potato fries with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange them in a single layer in your air fryer basket, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
3
Air fry the potato fries at 200°C (390°F) for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket every 5-7 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Set aside.
4
While fries are cooking, prepare the fish. Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel. In a shallow dish, whisk the egg white.
5
In another shallow dish, combine the whole wheat flour, paprika, garlic powder, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
6
Dip each cod fillet first into the egg white, ensuring it's lightly coated, then dredge it thoroughly in the flour mixture, pressing gently to make sure the coating adheres.
7
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray. Place the coated fish fillets in the basket in a single layer. Lightly spray the tops of the fish with olive oil spray.
8
Air fry the fish at 190°C (375°F) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fish is flaky and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
9
Serve the air-fried fish and chips immediately with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh parsley, if desired.
