Crushed Potato Fish Pie

This fish pie contains a tasty filling of spinach, mushrooms, and tender hake. Instead of putting a classic mash on top, we used quick-crushed potatoes! Comfort food, yes. Boring, absolutely not!

  1. BOILING AWAY

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the baby potato chunks in a pot of salted water over a high heat. Pop on a lid and bring to the boil. Once boiling, remove the lid and reduce the heat. Allow to simmer for 10-15 minutes until cooked through and soft. Remove from the heat and drain. Use a fork to break up the potatoes into rough, chunky pieces. Cover to keep warm.

  2. BUTTERY BECHÉMAL

    Place a pan over a medium heat with 10g of butter. When hot, add the diced onion and the sliced leek and fry for 3-4 minutes until soft, shifting occasionally. Add the flour and cook out for 1-2 minutes, shifting constantly. Remove from the heat and gradually pour in the milk. Mix until fully combined. Add water in 50ml increments until loosened and a saucy consistency.

  3. FINISH THE FILLING

    Once the sauce is fully combined and loosened, gently simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened, stirring constantly. If the sauce is too thick for your liking, loosen with an extra splash of water. Reduce the heat to low and add ½ the chopped dill, the lemon zest, and seasoning. Add the chopped mushrooms, the hake chunks, and the rinsed spinach. Gently simmer for 2-3 minutes until the hake is cooked through, stirring occasionally. On completion, add the peas.

  4. TOP & BAKE

    Pour the fish mixture into an ovenproof dish. Evenly spread over the potato pieces. Pop in the hot oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until bubbling and golden.

  5. TIME TO EAT!

    Dish up a hearty helping of the fish pie. Garnish with the remaining dill. Serve with a lemon wedge. There you have it, Chef!
