1. Peel and Cut: Start by peeling 4 medium potatoes. Cut them into even-sized fries to ensure they cook uniformly.

2. Soak to Remove Starch: Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for 30 minutes. This step helps remove excess starch, which is key for achieving crispy air fryer fries.

3. Dry and Season: Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Toss them in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of paprika. This will add flavor to your homemade chips.

4. Air Fry the Chips: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd. Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. Your air fryer chips should be golden and crispy.

5. Pat Dry and Season: Pat the 1 lb of cod or haddock fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

6. Prepare the Coating: Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with 1/2 cup of flour, one with 2 beaten eggs, and one with 1 cup of panko breadcrumbs mixed with 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of paprika.

7. Coat the Fish: Dip each fish fillet first in the flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally in the panko mixture. This will create a crispy outer layer when cooked in the air fryer. You can use panko for extra crunch, or try crushed cornflakes for a different texture. This step is crucial for making crispy fish fillets.

8. Prepare for Air Frying: Lightly spray the coated fillets with olive oil or cooking spray. This helps achieve that golden, crispy exterior.

9. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). This step is essential for even cooking.

10. Cook the Chips: If not done yet, cook the chips first. Set them aside and keep warm.

11. Cook the Fish: Place the breaded fish fillets in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap. Cook at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fish is cooked through and the coating is golden brown.

12. Ensure Even Cooking: Do not overcrowd the basket. Cook in batches if necessary to ensure everything cooks evenly and turns out crispy.
