- Milk500ml
- Butter60g

Method
- Heat the oven to 200°C. Boil the potatoes (1kg) (15 min) and mash with half the butter (60g) and a splash of the milk (500ml).
Kitchen note For mash, steam-dry the drained potatoes in the pan for a minute, then mash with warm milk and butter. Cold milk makes it gluey.
- Melt the rest of the butter, stir in the flour (40g) (1 min), then whisk in the milk bit by bit until thick.
Kitchen note For a smooth sauce, add the milk a splash at a time and whisk each splash in before adding the next.
- Stir in the fish, peas (150g) and parsley (10g) and season. Tip into a dish.
Kitchen note Fish is done when it flakes apart easily and has turned from see-through to opaque. Skin side down first, and leave it until it lets go of the pan by itself.
- Spoon the mash over, fork the top, scatter the cheese (80g) and bake until golden and bubbling (25 min).
