Cheesy fish pie recipe

2 ratings

Fish pie is an absolute classic and this easy recipe is suitable from 10+ months*, making it ideal for all the family. We've used frozen fish pie mix to keep things simple and budget-friendly, with lots of root and green veg for hidden goodness. The cheesy mash top will ensure clean plates! Great for making ahead and freezing too… See method

Serves 2 adults and 2 children
Takes 1 hr
Freezable

Ingredients

600g Maris Piper potatoes, peeled and roughly chopped
2 medium carrots (about 180g), peeled and roughly chopped
300g sweet potato, peeled and roughly chopped
40g kale, trimmed of any stalks and finely chopped
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
3 tbsp plain flour
350ml whole milk
500g frozen fish pie mix
30g Cheddar cheese, roughly grated

If you haven't got any Maris Pipers, try using King Edward potatoes

Method

Put the potatoes, carrots and sweet potatoes into a medium saucepan of boiling water and boil for 20-25 mins until tender. Add the kale for 2 mins until completely tender, then drain and mash. Leave to cool.
Meanwhile, heat the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas 6. Melt the butter in a large saucepan set over a medium high heat and fry the onion for 10 mins until soft, then add the garlic for 1 min more. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly for 1 min. Pour in the milk, a little at a time, stirring vigorously (use a whisk if it starts to look lumpy). Once all the milk has been added, add the fish pie mix, and allow to gently simmer for 5-7 mins until the fish is cooked before stirring in three-quarters of the cheese. You can break the fish up at this stage with a wooden spoon or mash if it needs to be in smaller pieces for your child.
Transfer to a 1.2ltr baking dish and top with the mash; scatter over the remaining cheese. Bake for 30 mins until golden and piping hot.

Freezing and defrosting guidelines

Freeze before putting in the oven, wrapped in a layer of cling film and foil for up to a month; or divide into smaller portions to freeze. For more tips on freezing and defrosting food, read our article Love Your Freezer.
