Meanwhile, heat some cooking oil in a medium pot. Add the potatoes and fry until golden brown. Drain and keep warm in a low oven.
Green Peppercorn and Mushroom Sauce
Fry the onion in olive oil until transparent. Add the mushrooms, garlic and peppercorns and fry for 3 minutes. Add the flour and stir until the mushrooms are covered in flour. Add the chicken stock and stir. Cook the mushrooms in the sauce over a low heat, for about 2 minutes. Slowly add the cream and stir. Add the sherry, stir and keep to one side. Heat when needed.
