SMOKED HADDOCK AND CHEDDAR GRATIN

Steps:

• Put the haddock, milk, onion and peppercorns in a deep, lidded frying pan. Bring the milk to a simmer then put on the lid and turn off the heat. Leave for 10 minutes, then take out the haddock and flake into large chunks, discarding any skin and bones. Strain the milk into a jug.
• Drop the potato slices into boiling water and cook for 7-10 minutes or until tender. Drain well.
• Wilt the spinach in a large pan over a medium heat with a splash of water. Tip into a colander and cool, then use your hands to squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Tip onto doubled-up kitchen paper and pat as much water out as you can. This is important to prevent a puddle forming at the bottom of the dish. Chop the spinach then toss with lots of seasoning.
• Heat the butter in a pan and, when foaming, stir in the flour. Stir for 3-4 minutes or until the mix has a nutty aroma. Gradually whisk in the strained milk a little at a time until you have a sauce. Simmer for 3-4 minutes then tip in the cheeses and stir until melted.
• Heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Butter a large ceramic baking dish and put the spinach in the bottom. Top with the haddock chunks and potatoes, then spoon over the sauce. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the sauce is bubbling and the top golden. Serve with salad, if you like.

POTATO GRATIN WITH CHEESE AND BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 F / 150 C / Gas 2 and grease a 10 x 12-inch (25 x 30-centimeter shallow baking dish with a little of the butter.
• Peel and slice the potatoes into thick slices, approximately 1/8-inch (3-millimeters) thick. Place the potatoes in a colander and rinse thoroughly under cold, running water. Dry with kitchen paper and season well with salt and pepper (potatoes soak up a lot of salt while cooking, so be generous). Keep to one side.
• Cut the cheese into small cubes.
• Heat a large frying pan to hot but not burning. Dry fry (fry without any fat) for about 5 minutes until the bacon lardons are crisp and golden. Drain on kitchen paper. Place half the potatoes neatly into the dish, sprinkle over the bacon, then top with half the cheese followed by the remaining potatoes.
• Pour in enough cream to just cover the potatoes-don't worry if you don't use it all. Dot the surface with the remaining butter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the potatoes are tender when pricked with a knife, about 1 1/4 hours.
• Remove the baking dish from the oven, dot the surface with the remaining cheese and return to the oven and cook until bubbling and golden, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to stand for 15 minutes covered in foil before serving.
