Instructions

Make chips: Peel the potato and cut it into 12 wedges. Pour 3 cups of water into a bowl, then submerge the potato wedges for 15 minutes. Drain the water and replace with fresh water. Soak for 15 more minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the fish: In a large bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, salt, garlic powder, baking soda, and baking powder. Pour in 1/2 cup of malt beer and stir until combined. If the batter seems too thick, add the remaining beer 1 tablespoon at a time.
Place the cod fillets on a baking sheet lined with a drip rack. Spoon 1/2 of the batter over the fillets. Place in the freezer for about 35 minutes to allow the batter to solidify. Flip and coat the other side with the remaining batter. Return to the freezer for another 35 minutes.
Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 8 minutes.
Cook the frozen fish fillets in the preheated air fryer for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Meanwhile, drain the water from the potato wedges and pat them dry with a paper towel. Place the wedges in a medium bowl, add oil, salt, and pepper, and toss until evenly coated.
Cook the potato wedges in the preheated air fryer for 15 minutes.
