Haddock & Potato Bake

This, I have to confess is not my own creation - I got the idea from one of those Waitrose suggestion cards. Nonetheless, it is the type of dish you can add variations to very easily and so worthy of an entry on the blog.

The dish itself is already a variation on one made with anchovies, known as Jansen's Temptation.

Preparation time:
15-20 minutes

CookingTime:
1 hour

Serves:
4-6

Ingredients:
400g haddock
700g potatoes
1 onion
2 gloves of garlic
300ml single cream
100ml milk
Salt & pepper

Method:
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.

Peel and cut the potatoes into chips about 5mm wide. Season and leave to one side. Chop the onion into slices.

Put the haddock in a pan with cold water. Cover and bring to the boil. Simmer for 5 minutes or until the meat is just cooked through. Drain off the water and remove the skin. Flake the meat into a mixing bowl, add crushed/chopped garlic and mix together. Season with a little salt and pepper.

Add the potato and onion and toss gently then put the mixture into a greased dish, leaving the top uneven. Mix the milk and cream together and pour over.

Leave in the oven for 1 hour. If the top layer starts to look too burnt (you want it somewhat crispy), cover with foil. Serve immediately with a green salad or peas.
