    List of Ingredients




    700g (1lb 9oz) floury potatoes, eg Maris Piper or King Edward, peeled
    and diced

    400g (14oz) haddock fillet

    300ml (10fl oz) milk

    1 tbsp mint jelly

    300g can of mushy peas

    2 tbsp plain white flour, seasoned

    1 egg, beaten

    8-10 tbsp natural dried breadcrumbs

    sunflower oil, for frying

    1 lemon

    3 tbsp mayonnaise

    coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

    For the chunky chips

    3 large red potatoes, eg Desiree

    1-2 tablespoons olive oil

    Recipe



    Preheat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas Mark 7. Cook the diced potatoes in a
    large pan of boiling water for 12-15 minutes, until tender.

    Cut the red skins into chunky chips and cook in a separate pan of
    boiling water for five minutes. Pour the olive oil into a shallow baking
    tray and place in the oven.

    Place the haddock in a saute pan and pour over the milk. Cover, bring to
    the boil and then remove from the heat and set aside for five minutes or
    so, until cooked through.

    Drain the chunky chips in a colander, shaking them well to roughen up
    the edges a little. Remove the hot tray from the oven and tip in the
    chips, tossing to coat them in the hot oil. Sprinkle with salt and
    return to the oven for 15-20 minutes, until crisp and golden brown.

    Drain the diced potatoes well and return to the pan. Add the mint jelly
    and some salt and pepper and mash together. Remove the fish from the pan
    and drain it well, discarding the milk. Flake the fish into the
    potatoes. Add the mushy peas and stir together. Shape the mixture into
    four firm, even-sized cakes.

    Dust the cakes lightly with seasoned flour. Put the beaten egg in a
    shallow bowl and spread out the breadcrumbs on a plate. Then dip the
    fishcakes into the beaten egg and then into the breadcrumbs.

    Heat a little sunflower oil in a frying pan and gently cook the
    fishcakes for two minutes on each side until crisp and golden. Drain on
    kitchen paper. The fishcakes may have to be cooked in two batches.

    Cut the lemon into wedges. Squeeze a little lemon juice into the
    mayonnaise. Divide the fishcakes and chips between two plates and serve
    each with a dollop of lemon mayo and a lemon wedge.

    Serves 4.
