Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 tbsp vegetable oil
800g Maris Piper potatoes, cut into 2cm chunks
20g butter
2 shallots, finely chopped
100ml white wine
20g plain flour
275ml whole milk
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
200ml double cream
150g mature cheddar, grated
150g frozen peas
600g fish pie mix (ours had salmon, smoked mackerel and cod)
small bunch of parsley, finely chopped
1 lemon, zested and juiced
winter greens or salad, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Drizzle the oil over a large baking tray and slide into the oven to heat up. Tip the potatoes into a large pan, cover with water and season with salt. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 8-10 mins. Drain and leave to steam-dry.
  • Carefully remove the baking tray from the oven and tip in the potatoes. Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper and turn to coat in the oil. Roast for 35-40 mins until crisp, turning halfway through.
  • Meanwhile, make the filling. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over a medium heat and cook the shallots for 5 mins until softened. Pour in the wine and simmer for 2 mins until it has reduced. Sprinkle in the flour and stir until you have a paste.
  • Gradually whisk in the milk until you have a smooth sauce, then stir in the mustard and cream. Simmer for 2 mins, whisking occasionally. Tip in 100g of the cheese, the peas and fish pie mix, cover and cook for 8 mins more, stirring occasionally until the peas have defrosted and the fish is almost cooked through. Stir in the parsley and lemon zest and juice, then season to taste.
  • Pour the filling into a deep 20 x 25cm casserole dish and scatter the roasted potatoes over the top. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Turn down the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and bake the pie for 15-20 mins until the filling is bubbling at the edges. Serve with winter greens or a crisp salad.
