Ingredients
  

For the peas

  • 300 g ffrozen peas
  • 4 tbsp double cream
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • small handful of mint leaves

For the Tartar Sauce

  • 6 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 gherkin or 6 cornichons finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp capers rinsed and chopped
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley
  • 2 tsp chopped tarragon

For the chips

  • 500 ml sunflower oil for frying
  • 4 medium to large Maris piper potatoes (peeled and cut into chips)

Instructions
 

For the peas

  • Bring a shallow pot of lightly salted water to the boil over medium high heat. Add frozen peas, and cook for 3 minutes, or until tender.
  • Drain peas, and transfer to a blender or large food processor. Add cream, butter, salt and pepper and mint leaves to the peas, and process until blended, but still thick with small pieces of peas. Adjust seasonings to taste, place in a pan ready to re heat just before serving

For the Tartar Sauce

  • Mix the mayonnaise, chopped gherkin or cornichons, capers, lemon juice, parsley and tarragon in a bowl and season.
    Set aside until ready to serve

For the Chips

  • In a large sauce pan add the raw chips and cover with cold water, bring to the boil and strain the chips off, place onto a cloth or kitchen towel to thoroughly dry them
    This may need to be repeated depending on size of the pan until all the chips are blanched.
  • Preheat the deep fat fryer to 180°C. Alternatively, fill a deep saucepan with sunflower oil to halfway and, using a cooking thermometer, heat to 180°C
  • In batches, fry the chips until golden and crunchy, strain well and lay on an oven proof tray
    Once all the chips are cooked place in a preheated oven to keep warm.

Notes

The tartar sauce and mushy peas can be made a day in advance and peas reheated to serve
