-
Put all the potatoes in a
large pan with just enough water to cover. Bring to the
boil, cover, then simmer for 18-20 minutes until tender.
-
Drain the potatoes, return to
the pan and place it over a low heat to remove any
moisture. Mash with the 4 tablespoons of milk and 15g of
butter.
-
Meanwhile, put the fish mix
into a pan with 600ml (1 pint) milk. Bring just to the
boil, then take off the heat and cover with a lid. Leave
for 5 minutes. Drain the fish, reserving the milk, and
clean the pan.
-
Melt 25g butter in the pan
over medium heat. Stir in the spring onions, cover and
simmer for 5 mins, stirring occasionally. Divide the
spring onions and fish between 4x 250ml oven proof or foil
dishes.
-
To make the sauce, melt 25g butter in the pan,
add the flour and cook over a medium heat for 1-2 minutes.
Gradually beat in the reserved milk and whisk to make a
sauce. Cook for 2 minutes, then add the parsley and
season.
-
Spoon the sauce into the
dishes. Don't make the dishes too full as there won't be
enough room for the mash topping.
-
To serve now: Preheat the oven
to 200°C/400°F/ Gas 6. Put one or two of the fish pies on
a baking sheet in the oven and bake for 35--40 minutes or
until the filling is bubbling hot.
-
To freeze:
Cover the uncooked dishes with foil. Seal, label and
freeze. Use within 2 months.
-
To serve from the
freezer: Remove from the freezer and thaw in the
fridge overnight. Cook as above.
