Steps:
- For the fish and fries: Cut the cod into strips 1 inch wide by 2 inches long. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Set up a breading station with three wide shallow bowls or baking dishes, one with the flour, one with the eggs whisked with a splash of water and one with the panko. Whisk the paprika, garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper into the flour.
- Working in small batches, toss the fish in the flour, then dip into the egg and, finally, coat with the panko. Arrange in a single layer in the basket of a 6-quart air fryer as they're done. Cook in the air fryer at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes, flipping the fish halfway through, until the fish is golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a dish and sprinkle with salt.
- Add the fries to the air fryer and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 10 minutes. During the last minute of cooking, add the fish on top of the fries to reheat.
- For the tartar sauce: While the fish is cooking, mix the mayonnaise, dill, cornichons, vinegar, capers, mustard and some salt and pepper in a small bowl.
- Serve the fish and fries immediately with the tartar sauce.
Tips:
- To ensure crispy fish, make sure the fish fillets are thoroughly patted dry before coating them in batter.
- For a flavorful batter, use a combination of all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- To achieve a golden brown crust, preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) before cooking the fish and chips.
- For crispy chips, cut the potatoes into even-sized wedges and toss them in a mixture of olive oil, salt, and pepper before air frying.
- Serve the fish and chips immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce, malt vinegar, or ketchup.
