Instructions

Make the Double-Cooked Chunky Chips & Cook Beer Battered Tenders:

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 tbsp white vinegar (this helps the chips crisp up).
2. Add the potato wedges and parboil for 5 minutes. Drain well and let them steam dry in the colander for 5 minutes.
3. Toss the chips in 2 tbsp vegetable oil, then spread them out on a baking tray.
4. First Cook: Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 15 minutes, shaking halfway.
5. Second Cook: Increase the temperature to 400°F (200°C) and air fry for 5-7 more minutes, until golden and crispy. Keep warm on a low heat in the oven whilst cooking the fish.
6. For the fish, preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C).
7. Place four Beer Battered Tenders in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t overlap.
8. Air fry for 9-11 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 155°F (68°C).

For the Mushy Peas:

1. Cook the frozen peas in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then drain.
2. Mash them roughly with a fork or potato masher, adding butter, cream, salt, mint and pepper.
3. Stir in lemon juice for a fresh touch.

For the Tartar Sauce:

1. Mix together mayonnaise, pickles, capers, parsley, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
