Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Heat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas mark 6.

Step 2

Put the potatoes, peeled and halved, in a saucepan and pour over enough water to cover them. Bring to the boil and then simmer until tender.

Step 3

When cooked, drain thoroughly and mash with a splash of milk and the butter. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 4

Put the remaining butter and the plain flour and the sliced spring onions in another pan and heat gently until the butter has melted, stirring regularly. Cook for 1-2 mins.

Step 5

Gradually whisk in the remaining milk using a balloon whisk if you have one. Bring to the boil, stirring to avoid any lumps and sticking at the bottom of the pan. Cook for 3-4 mins until thickened.

Step 6

Take off the heat and stir in the mixed fish, Dijon or English mustard, the snipped chives, handful of sweetcorn and handful of petits pois. Spoon into an ovenproof dish or 6-8 ramekins.

Step 7

Spoon the mash potato on top and sprinkle with a handful of grated cheddar cheese.

Step 8

Pop in the oven for 35 mins or until golden and bubbling at the edges. Alternatively, cover and freeze the pie or mini pies for another time.
