Ingredients

• 500 grams Sweet potatoes
• 500 grams White potatoes (e.g., Yukon Gold)
• 30 grams Unsalted butter
• 200 milliliters Low-fat milk
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 2 medium, diced Carrots
• 400 grams White fish fillets (e.g., cod or haddock)
• 200 grams Smoked fish fillets (e.g., smoked haddock)
• 100 grams Prawns
• 100 grams Frozen peas
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons Whole wheat flour
• 50 grams Grated cheddar cheese (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the sweet potatoes and white potatoes into even chunks. Cook in a large pot of boiling salted water for 15-20 minutes, or until tender. Drain and mash with half the butter and 100 ml of milk. Set aside.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and diced carrots, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Cut the white fish and smoked fish into bite-sized pieces and layer them in a large baking dish along with the prawns and frozen peas.

Step 5

Stir the flour into the softened onion and carrots, and cook for 1 minute. Gradually add the remaining 100 ml of milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens, about 3 minutes.

Step 6

Stir the chopped parsley, salt, and pepper into the sauce, then pour it over the fish, prawns, and peas in the baking dish.

Step 7

Spread the mashed two-potato mixture evenly over the top of the filling. Sprinkle with grated cheddar cheese if using.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the top is golden and the filling is bubbling.

Step 9

Let the pie cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Healthy Two Potato Fish Pie!
