4. Cut the potatoes into chips measuring approximately 1 x 5cm each.
5. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep-fat fryer or large pan to 120C and deep fry the chips for about 5 minutes until soft but not coloured, then drain.

8. Deep fry in the oil until the batter is crisp.
9. To make the pea emulsion; blend the egg, peas, Dijon mustard and white wine vinegar together.
10. Drizzle in the olive oil, stirring all the time and season to taste with salt and pepper.
