Ingredients
- 800g/1lb 12oz potatoes, each cut into 8 wedges
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 15–20 breaded fish fingers
- 200g/7oz frozen peas, thawed
- salt and ground black pepper
To serve (optional)
Method
Preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7. Put the potatoes into a bowl and toss with the oil, a little salt and lots of ground black pepper. Arrange the potatoes on a large baking tray, skin-side down. (If the potatoes are placed on their skin side, they won’t need turning.) Bake for 15 minutes.
Take the tin out of the oven and add the fish fingers to the tray, nestling them amongst the wedges. Return to the oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are light golden-brown and the fish fingers are cooked through and crisp in places.
Sprinkle the thawed peas over the wedges and return to the oven for 2–3 minutes more or until the peas are hot. Serve with the lemon wedges for squeezing and buttered bread, if you like.
Recipe Tips
If your baking tin isn’t large enough to hold all the potatoes and fish fingers, you can cook them in two separate trays instead, placing the potato tin above the fish.
