1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp garlic powder

¾ cup cold lager beer

Instructions

1
Cut the potatoes lengthwise into ½-inch-thick planks, then cut each plank into ½-inch-wide sticks. Place in a large bowl, toss with the olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and ½ tsp black pepper until evenly coated.
2
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (205°C). Arrange the potato sticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer, working in batches if needed to avoid crowding. Cook for 18–22 minutes, shaking the basket every 6–7 minutes, until the chips are golden and crisp at the edges and tender through the center. Transfer to a wire rack and keep warm while you cook the fish.
