Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan oven).

Prepare the mashed potato using a combination of white potato and sweet potato (made the day before).

In a skillet, melt 40 grams of butter and add 40 grams of plain flour and chopped spring onions, stirring continuously.

Cook for a couple of minutes until the spring onions are covered with flour.

Gradually add 600 grams of whole milk in stages, stirring continuously until it looks liquidy.

Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for approximately 4 minutes until slightly thicker, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.

Remove from heat and add the fish (a combination of white fish and smoked fish) and a handful of frozen peas.

Add 1 teaspoon of whole grain mustard and stir well.

Spread the mashed potato over the fish mixture, covering it completely, and create grooves in the potato for crispiness.

Sprinkle grated cheddar cheese on top of the mashed potato.

Bake in the oven for approximately 30 minutes, checking for a crispy, browned top.
