Ingredients

Main Ingredients

750g white potatoes, peeled and chopped into roughly 4cm chunks

568ml (1 pint) semi-skimmed milk

520g Just Essentials by Asda White Fish Fillets (frozen)

300g Asda Frozen for Freshness Mixed Vegetables, plus 400g to serve

From your store cupboard

3 tbsp plain flour

1 low-salt vegetable stock cube

Method

1
Put the milk into a medium-sized saucepan and add the fish. Place over a medium heat with the lid on and cook for 7 mins until steaming. Cover and turn off the heat and leave for 5 mins. Remove the fish with a slotted spoon and place in an ovenproof dish approx. 22x22 cm.
2
Put the potatoes into a pan of salted cold water with lid on and bring to the boil. Cook for another 10–12 mins until really tender. Drain well and allow to steam dry for a few mins before adding 150ml of the fish milk and mashing well.
3
Add 250ml cold water to the saucepan of remaining milk, then off the heat, tip in the flour. Over a medium heat, whisking vigorously and constantly, bring everything gradually to a simmer. Continue whisking and cooking until the sauce has thickened, 2–4 mins. Crumble in the stock cube, add the veggies, and cook for 2 mins more.
4
Preheat the grill to high. Pour the sauce over the fish and then top with the mash. Grill for 8-10 mins until golden. Serve with the extra veggies on the side, cooked following pack instructions.
5
Once you’ve mastered this version, you can vary to suit your children’s likes and dislikes. Substitute small, frozen prawns for some of the white fish fillets or top with a grated cheddar-spiked cheesy mash. Serve with lemon wedges, if you like.
