-
1 tbsp unsalted butter
-
1 chopped medium onion

400g medium potatoes (around 2 or 3) peeled and cut into 1cm cubes

250g smoked haddock
-
250ml whole milk

½ small bunch of finely chopped parsley or chives
Directions:

Melt the butter in a saucepan, then add the chopped onion and fry for 5-8 minutes on medium heat, or until the onion is translucent but not browned.

Add the potatoes and 300ml of water to the lightly fried onion and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat slightly and simmer for 10-15 minutes
