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.
